[QUOTE="buddy, post: 496096, member: 12886"] Sorry for the serious issues. Having already had a board member's son attempt suicide this month, I think that speaks to what everyone here has said, you can just never ever not take a suicide threat lightly. You were not there to see him directly to supervise him, and he is too old for that anyway. You did what you had to do in my opinion. Take care, let us know how he is. HUGS PS (I think another family had discussed something like this a few months ago...sometimes when difficult child does not want to talk, etc...they can be starting to do things on their own) I was in E.D. treatment as a young adult and did not want my parents to have info. I had no conflict with them, so it was different in that sense, but I just felt this was on me. I owuld not let any info out or in for quite a while. I realize this is very different but his needing to problem solve on his own can be a good thing. Does not mean he can't ask for and receive help, but it is on him to come up with a plan and if he asks, it should be reasonable to everyone..not demanding. [/QUOTE]
