[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 632302, member: 1550"] Will he go to rehab? If he is so lost and sad, will he help himself? Things won't get better if he just comes home. He has to quit. Is he willing to do it? Did you ask him? I would take him to rehab, but not home. All of our kids are at risk for suicide, including our PCs. Kids who are near suicide normally just do it and don't announce it. I sadly know of a few teens who did it and everyone was shocked. They just did it...didn't warn anyone. It is a risk we all take just by loving others because that is something anyone can do. The last boy I heard about who did it was with his girlfriend the night before, happy and loving and said nothing about suicide. The next day he shot himself with his father's gun at home. He left no note, no explanation.His father, a cop, and his mother, a great stay at home mom with other well adjusted kids, are both devestated, of course. We can not control if our adult children will choose to do something final like that. It is not something we have control over. When my son threatens to commit suicide, I now just call 911. He doesn't do it anymore because calling 911 is the only thing I can do to try to keep him safe and he doesn't like it when I do that. [/QUOTE]
