[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 435172"] Total agreement with everyone else's counsel here. I just wanted to add that difficult child's threat, whether explicitly or implicitly, of "let me come home or I commit suicide" is VERY standard difficult child manipulation. I know it sounds callous to say "ignore it--it's just crafty, heartless manipulation," but I'll say it: Ignore it--it's just crafty, heartless manipulation. That's not to say that it doesn't happen every now and again in difficult child-world (very very very rarely, actually), but you just can't conduct your life sanely or sensibly if you let him hold that gun to your head every time he wants you to submit to his desire to come home for shelter and, inevitably, wreck your life all over again.
