[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 682063, member: 18958"] I so agree with this. We cannot allow fear of some future possible unknown to affect the reality of the present. It is to empower the very worst in our children, to give power to their weakness and their manipulation. It is actually empowering them to hurt themselves, I think. My son once took a handful of pills in front of me. Deliberately. Calmly, I called 911. Fine, if you want to get your stomach pumped. Your choice. Over the years numerous times he threatened suicide, and was hospitalized several times and tells me he made a couple of serious attempts when he was away from here. True or false, I do not know. More difficult for me was that I had to accept that he if he chose could neglect his health. He has a serious chronic disease for which he requires treatment. To let this go was the hardest of things for me. I wholeheartedly agree. I believe this is exactly the thing that potentially enables them to step up, to stabilize and to take responsibility to the extent that they are able. COPA [/QUOTE]
