[QUOTE="Kat@morada, post: 693722, member: 20458"] Thank you for your reply. Your words are very kind. Unfortunately there is a previous suicide attempt. He ended up in ICU 4 years ago after an Over the counter medication overdose. It was very serious and he shouldn't be here today. He understands and accepts the full ramifications of what he is saying. We have to be very careful not to challenge him, call his bluff or back him into a corner in any way as he accepts the challenge readily, and at this time doesn't care enough not to do it. This is the trap- we fully think we may be on the brink, but the options available have been tried before and are very poor. He would go into a public asylum for a few days or a week and would come out even worse. Been there x 3. As a mother I know I can't give up, but by doing that I feel like I'd be pushing the button. By not doing it we are doing nothing. I feel that we are trapped with no happy ending. I am sure that's why I am shutting down. My heart and gut are weighing very heavily on this. The situation is pretty clear after recent days. Why aren't there other options? Why can't there be truly helpful solutions instead of these? [/QUOTE]
