[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 496060"] It is always so hard to know what to do, you can only do the best you can in the moment... the2nd guessing yourself is useless because you have no idea what would have happened if you did something differently. I think you did pretty well under the circumstances. My two thoughts are I think having him stay at home under the circumstances would have been very hard on your daughter. I don't remember how old she is but my memory is she is in her 20's.... still a lot of responsibility to fall on her shoulders. So by telling her to callt he police it put it off her shoulders on to the police and that shows some support for her and her position. That is a good thing. The other thing is he was making suicidal gestures, not only to you but to the polce. Those always have to be taken seriously and the right thing to do in that situation is to call the police. I don't see how you can be faulted for that decision. You were not with him at the time so you could not judge how serious he was... and the police felt it was enough to take him to the hospital. Are you and your wife basically on the same page? It doesn't completely sound like it and that is very difficult. TL [/QUOTE]
