[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 728689, member: 13303"] Our 15 year old son attempted last fall and nearly succeeded. The specter of another possible attempt, even years down the road, is always over our family's collective head. Like a ghost. There is ultimately nothing we can do for our adolescent or adult children if they are unwilling to take care of themselves. We can stop enabling them. That is the one thing we can do. And we can take care of ourselves by looking at our own negative behaviors - obsessive worrying, codependency and so forth. Worrying will not change any outcome for either good or bad. [/QUOTE]
