[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 690652, member: 18958"] You know Nomad has a thread about breaking confidentiality about our difficult kids, and this came up--the possibility of suicide. That that would be the exception to breach of confidentiality. All of us agreed. The parents did the right thing and they and you handled it perfectly, I think. So, TL, what do you make of your son's denial? My son would say something like that, because he can be a drama queen when he is feeling sorry for himself. He is rarely like that anymore, but can be. I guess I do not know what I would do--and am unsure what there would be to do. I think I would want to find out if there was or was not such a picture, and if there was, I would think about what my proper response should be. But then again, if there was a picture, and he is now totally self-supporting, what can you do? I, for you, do not like either that he has gone back to the dessert. What is it about these guys that keep cycling through the same set of limited options, over and over again, without thinking there could be another possibility? Like my favorite, college. Or even deciding to go to a brand new place with new people and new possibility. I know AA calls that a geographic, but I call it possibility, the possibility of changing. [/QUOTE]
