[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 691237, member: 18958"] I wanted to specifically respond to this. You must work. You must breathe. You must live. The more you are in crisis mode, the worse for the both of you. You must show him that you are going on. This will show him that he can and must as well. The more you are in crisis, the more he will be. This is a matter of fact situation: if he is suicidal call 911. You cannot have him in your house if he is suicidal. You are not equipped. You are not a hospital. Take back your power. As long as he dominates the situation the risk is greater. He is in no position to dominate the situation. His judgment is impaired. He is ill. You tell him: to stay here you must get help now. If he will not get help, call the crisis unit. Either you are exaggerating the risk do to your own mental state or you are not. If it is the former, than you need to get help. If it is the latter, your son needs immediate help. He must or he cannot be with you. If he is still at college or where ever he is, and you believe he is at risk, call the authorities. [/QUOTE]
