[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 543890"] I don't remember where you're from so not sure what your options would be. I would DEFINITELY find a new psychiatrist for him. You need one that will listen to you and not get "stuck" on one thing and not admit he might be wrong and something else is going on. Suicidal thoughts and actions, such as your son is displaying, should NOT be taken lightly. Tell the psychiatrist that they dismissed the issue and that you are SCARED for your son. I would be scared. Have you asked your son why he wants to "kill" himself? Our kids have a tendency to make drastic decisions over some of the smallest things because they don't know what else to do. Maybe if you could get to the why, you can teach him other ways to deal with whatever his "issues" are. Just a thought. I know what it's like to be financially strapped because of a difficult child. I am also a single parent with no help and I have been out of work for a year now. I don't know how I would be able to work because of the supervision difficult child 1 requires, especially when it comes to him being alone with difficult child 2. They have NO tolerance for each other and I am terrified that I would come home one day and find difficult child 1 did something drastic to difficult child 2. It really stinks that you're not getting the quality help you need. Have you contacted your county human services dept for help? That's where we got some of the funding for some of the services difficult child 1 needed. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you. [/QUOTE]
