[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 488631, member: 1233"] My FIRST thought when I read your post about giving the phone back was that he was preparing to kill himself. This is VERY scary and these parents are being idiots about this. If they were so scared that he would move out and not talk to them, have they thought about what it would be like if instead of moving out he just left them FOREVER by killing himself? I pray he doesn't do it, but there are sooooo many signs and I am worried. You CANNOT make a teen break up with someone. It would be stupid to try and you are NOT a stupid mother or woman. I think Jumper handles this incredibly well, and you are doing all you can. I would problem have a stash of chocolate to help when she is upset - just something that I do with Jess. It doesn't "fix" anything and we both know it, but it is a temp pick-me-up and just something little to let her know I care. I am sorry this is such a recurring mess for Jumper to go through. Given all the times he has talked about suicide, I wonder if a call to a suicide hotline by YOU would give you some ideas to help the situation? You might suggest to Jumper that she tell him that if he is going to keep talking about suicide then he has to get some help or she won 't listen to it any more. He will get angry wth her, but it may be that she can push him to get help. It is NOT NOT NOT her job, but that won't help much if he hurts himself and she didn't do anything. I wonder if maybe the parents didn't want him to use the car because they were worried that if he and Jumper had a fight then he might try to kill himself while driving? I don't understand them, but then again if you haven't discussed this with them then maybe you are not getting the full picture either? (Just grapsing at straws here, of course). [/QUOTE]
