[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 733547, member: 21499"] Welcome to this site but sorry you need to be here. If you truly believe your son is suicidal you can call a crisis center or police and they will take him for an evaluation against his will. However they must believe he is a danger to himself or others to do this. If he is living in your home and expecting mom to fix "it" he is not functioning well. Everyones situation is different but to be living at home at 33 is not allowing him to have the opportunity to become independent and the self esteem that comes from that. My husband told me recently that by letting my son solve his own problems would give him a sense of pride even though he doesnt understand that now. I was also guilty of providing too much help which was not helping him. As far as refusing to get out he is 33 an adult. I would consider consulting an attorney to have him evicted. His life is his responsibility. I would seek counseling for yourself in order to learn how to best help him and yourself. As far as the suicide threats my son has also threatened and like i said if you think he is serious call for help when he threatens if he is not they will know. Some Difficult Child use it to manipulate but it is hard because you don't know. Others will respond soon. Keep posting and remember to take what feels right to you and leave the rest. Prayers are with you. [/QUOTE]
