[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 656636, member: 13561"] My Difficult Child also threatened suicide a LOT. Even half-heartedly attempted it at times, apparently. It USED to send me into a tailspin. Then when I learned it was manipulation I would either tell him, "Okay, then I'm calling an ambulance, because I'm not equipped to deal with this" (He didn't like that response) or "Well, I really hope you don't do that, but if you want to, I can't stop you". (He didn't like that one, either). I'm so sorry you are going through this-it's a hellish place to be in. It's going to take time to get out of it, because we have conditioned both ourselves and our DCs to be everything to them and if we can't/don't fix it, then the sky will fall. [/QUOTE]
