[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 705640, member: 19887"] I too worry if I push too hard my son will commit suicide. I never know when it's needed vs just me nagging.... I think by not going into the "how can you live with yourself " mentality is key. I try to focus on "I know you are smart and capable and will figure this out" Sometimes we are so upset with them it's hard to stay above their drama. I understand that. However, I do worry about suicide regularly. My son once told me that hurting us is the only reason he hasn't done it in the past. I told him that wouldn't be enough at some point. It's very scary. I know this feels like it's a nightmare. I often wake up and can't believe it's my life. This has wiped out almost all the good memories from his childhood, I have to struggle to remember. I hope you find some peace in these forums. I come here when I'm feeling especially alone and it has been a godsend. Take care..... C [/QUOTE]
