[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 711204, member: 11832"] Dan is holding you emotionally hostage. He has a pretty sweet deal going for himself. He gets to hide from the world and be a child while the rest of you wait for him to act on his threats. Yes, I completely understand your fear. I figure that my own son has about a 75% higher chance of dying by suicide than the average person. I have learned to accept that as his reality. Twice I have needed to take him to the hospital because of it. He also knows that I will not allow him to use suicidal threats to manipulate me. I have told him many, many times that is not what I want him to do. I want him to find a way to thrive. Dan is comfortable with his circumstances. The only way he will do anything differently is by you changing his circumstances. I urge you to seek therapy, so that you can formulate a good plan to get Dan functioning better. He is not really part of the human race today; he's more like a skeleton in your closet or an avatar in your computer. [/QUOTE]
