[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 684625, member: 1550"] Sometimes we forget that these drugs are making issues worse and our adult kids are hiding from possibly better mental health care by using these drugs instead of licensed professionals. If anyone claims to need a drug that makes them high in order to survive does this not indicate addiction? I have learned, at least in my life, that the tears, histrionics and even suicide threats are for OUR benefit, so that we will do whatever they want so that the don't kill themselves (which they usually have no intention of doing). I dealt with suicide threats one way...I called 911. There is nothing we can do to prevent suicide and it terrifies us so I decided to take that one out of my hands, do my best, and just call 911. I haven't heard a suicide threat since I started calling 911 rather than worrying and thinking of ways I can prevent the act. Since my one more sensitive son who is fighting in court over his son has received care from 911 when threatening suicide, he doesnt threaten. Nor has he tried it. It is as I gambled...he is basically strong and can handle the difficulties of life. Suicide is serious. Threats can be manipulative. in my opinion best to call 911 and let them decide. Too bad if grown kid gets angry. Nobody should make such a scary threat if they dont really mean it. JMO. [/QUOTE]
