[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 618362, member: 14557"] Cedar: Yeah, I have seen him. He is currently home. Physically okay and more irritated, sullen and argumentative than anything else. Seems to think it stupid that I and husband (and also his Mentor) make 'such a big thing over nothing.' (Yes, he actually said that - and no, I didn't smack him, about which I'm rather proud of.):stupid: He will be leaving for the next gig early Monday morning and that is good. He and husband are really clashing and I do think it takes husband at least few weeks if not longer to calm down over this. And difficult child's attitude is not making husband (or I) any less angry with him. I have calmed down a bit from yesterday and I'm quite confident difficult child is not in any immediate danger to do anything to himself. After mulling it all over and over again last night I can't see anything I could actually do to this without it backfiring. Except waiting till difficult child is ready to talk about it with me, if he ever will. Anything else would hurt the trust he has on me too much. And likely do nothing good. If there was some deliberateness in this (and I still believe it wasn't a total accident), only way for him to get any help is, that he trusts people and admits whatever happened and however he end up falling. Breaking his trust will not help in that. I will try to encourage him to talk with his therapist about what happened, but I can't make him to do so. [/QUOTE]
