[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 706467, member: 19905"] I am not sure how you came to know this - whether this is something that he outright says or you found it written somewhere. But the fact that he is making it known sounds like a cry for help. He needs to see someone, a therapist, and if he lives with you then maybe you can make it a condition of his living in your home. I am not sure of the relationship you have with him, but if he is calm and normally not explosive, try a rational conversation, adult to adult. Explain how much you love him and how much he means to you, and that you are concerned and want to help him get through this period in his life. It seems odd also that he is choosing his 21st birthday, as though it is symbolic to him in some way. I would not let this go on without insisting that he go and talk to a professional. [/QUOTE]
