[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 59282, member: 3211"] I would definitely mention it to your psychiatrist, but outside earshot of your difficult child. Our difficult child has also verbalized this since kindergarten - usually followed by "then you would be better off - you'd only have easy child", etc. He does not have a plan in place (i.e. cliff, knife, etc.) and at other times has also has said he would really never do it. I agree that it is a statement made (in our difficult child's case) out of frustration and depression, but one that makes my blood run cold none the less. I have over the years, learned not to react to the statement like I did when he first started saying it - because I think when he first said it it was out of sheer frustration and then I suspect he may have continued saying it because of my reaction. He will still resort to it during some of his most difficult times. Definitely something you want to take seriously - and discuss with psychiatrist. Hugs to you - hope you get some aid from the doctor. [/QUOTE]
