LMS, it sounds like you handled it great! I know there is a cost to you, but you are setting good strong boundaries. These suicide threats are awful...my son pulled it multiple times and I called the police on him multiple times, and made it clear I would do it every single time he threatened it.
Finally, that stopped. Deep inside, I was terrified he would actually do it, but intellectually I never believed he wanted to kill himself.
He just wanted me to react.
Hang in there. We teach people how to treat us. You are teaching them to treat you well or not at all. I applaud you. We are here for you.
