[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 141544, member: 3907"] I agree with MWM that a suicide threat should never be taken lightly. The best advice I was given was to react as though the threat is completely serious, even if it's clear that your child is making the threat to manipulate you. Call 911, indicate that your child is threatening suicide, and get him in for a psychiatric evaluation. If the threat is serious, then you've put your child in a position to get the best possible help. If the threat is a tactic, then you've demonstrated the natural consequences of making an idle threat in order to get your way. Either way, the result is a win-win for you. I also agree that this sounds like more than ADHD, and that a re-evaluation is probably a good idea. Hugs for your mommy heart. I hate it when they do this. Trinity [/QUOTE]
