[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 465645, member: 84"] Kuddos to you for the way you handled it and didn't let him manipulate you. Next time there is a suicide threat, I'd follow through with the 911 call. 1. you can still call and hopefully protect his safety while not buckling under the threat. (call 911, then go watch tv) 2. ups the chance that he *might* gets some help and 3. shows him making such threats is not only not going to get him what he wants, but will get him what he doesn't want.....treatment. I had to set a move out date for Nichole because she made no moves to do so herself although she was more than ready. She's done very well. Tough love can take a while for them to grasp. He's probably going to test you for quite a while before he gets it through his head it's not going to work. And yeah, of course he's going to blame you, you're not doing what he wants you to do. Keep the sense of humor. Some days it's all we got. Hugs [/QUOTE]
