[QUOTE="slsh, post: 188325, member: 8"] Steely, I'm going to be really blunt here. Your son has been voicing suicidal thoughts repeatedly for ... what, at least 24 hours? I'm sorry but he needs to be admitted, period. I understand completely how totally fruitless repeated admissions can feel, but in my humble opinion, from what you are describing, admission would simply to make sure that Matt is safe. It is not to help him get his life on track, it is not to address the bigger issues that are going on. [B][I]It is to keep Matt safe.[/I][/B] And get him stabilized so that the other issues can be addressed down the road. Is Dad planning on not sleeping for the next 2 days? Matt needs 24/7 eyes-on supervision in an environment that contains absolutely no possibility for self-harm in my humble opinion. Just my been there done that opinion. [/QUOTE]
