[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 699745, member: 13561"] Thanks for all the replies and support-don't know what I'd do without you all on this site. Well, he's still alive. In a 48 hour period, he stayed in the pysch ward, got a BAC of 0.0 and had the 5 day Emergency hold released on him. Talked to me very lucidly and somewhat optimistically, the next morning. Wanted to get out of the psychiatric ward and "get on with my life". The one he was so determined to end, when he was full of drugs and booze. He also knows that we were a nanosecond away from starting the Involuntary Commitment process, which is apparently quite complex. Our friend who is helping us with this, said this would probably be the last chance we'd ever have to begin it. Difficult Child sometimes thinks IC would be a good solution (he's willing to say he doesn't want help, so they'll commit him, if that makes sense). But this time he told his father, "All I have to do is say I WANT help and then it's a moot point". He said, "This is my life and I don't want anyone telling me how to live it". Where does he get the idea that he has EVER done anything he doesn't want to do? Mind-boggling! His father told him, "No, nobody IS telling you and nobody can stop you from living your life or ending it, so stop waving the threat of suicide in our faces, if that's what you really want to do." The dude is a piece of work-a real sociopath, I think. Terrible thing to have to say about your own kid, but all signs point to Yes... His case worker told him that there is an apartment available. This time he seems to want to take it. But who the heck knows? It's a complete roller coaster. He goes about his merry way and when it gets too much, he drags us in and sweeps around like the Tasmanian Devil and we're left wondering what just happened and is this just another Boy Who Cried Wolf incident? I'm wondering if I'm ever gonna learn. I need to keep revisiting my own posts when this happens next time, as I'm sure it will, to remind myself that it could all turn on a dime. Again thank you all. I feel like I'm being such a phony, posting in times of crises then giving updates that are telling you all that things are back to normal. HIS "Normal"... Sigh. [/QUOTE]
