[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 466062, member: 1514"] I completely agree that you cannot take any sort of talk about killing oneself as just idle threats. Even though he is obviously using this as a manipulation (we all think), I would call his bluff in a nanosecond and have him escorted to the local psychiatric ward. I have had to do this twice since my son has been an adult...once for him and once for a so called friend of his. The second time he had the person committed but I was the driver. Even my son knows you dont say suicide and expect not to end up in the hospital! I do think that it would probably be a very good idea since your son is 24 and seems able to work that he might be nudged to get a full time job and then nudged to get an apartment or some other living place. He needs to be out of your home. He will do much better on his own...trust me. He still sees himself as a teenager. He is acting like a teenager. He wants to be treated like a child. He needs to be a man. He will feel better about himself when he is a man. [/QUOTE]
