[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 727168, member: 13303"] Just an update...wife got a call from ex-husband on Friday. The social worker from YS' new school contacted him (dad) to say that YS is still thinking about suicide. Apparently he denies having a plan. The social worker thought YS was trying to manipulate his way out of taking a test in class by making this statement. YS' therapist spoke to him via phone later in the day, and called my wife and said that he didn't think YS was serious about attempting again. Therapist thought YS wants to avoid dealing with issues and sees suicide as an easy way out ....no :censored2: sherlock! After all we've been through I think this needs to be taken very seriously, but wife and ex-husband didn't want to make a "big deal" out of it, so it was left alone. As far as I am aware he has not attempted again. If he were my biological child I would have reacted very differently, but I have accepted there is absolutely nothing I can do. Apparently therapist and YS are "rehearsing" a big speech YS intends to give my wife. The speech is scheduled to be delivered during a joint session in a few weeks. I believe he wants nothing to do with her any longer and this is the kiss-off speech. But this is just speculation and we'll see what happens. Wife is holding up pretty well and no arguing this week which is nice. [/QUOTE]
