[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 673403, member: 59"] sammy I am so so sorry. I understand your anger and your fear. I know this won't help your son but the organization Families Anonymous is a support group for families who have loved ones that are dealing with many of the issues you describe. They may not be able to get your son to accept help but they can help you. In our group we have many parents who said they didn't think they would ever smile again until they found FA. We begged the hospital to admit our daughter after she claimed she took a bottle of advil. They wouldn't. I asked them what I should do the next time she really does. They asked her if she still wanted to end her life and she said no, so off we went. Fortunately she never took that step but I understand your desperation. I don't know what to suggest to you because I understand the difficulty in getting an Aspie to do something they don't want to do. We can't keep them safe forever and it goes against everything we believe as parents to admit that. I hope somehow someone can get him to accept help. In the meantime I urge you to get support for yourself. [/QUOTE]
