[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 621611, member: 17720"] So sorry you and your mom are going through this. I am just sharing my experience in case it is helpful. My difficult child has made the "ultimate threat" several times, and I always take it seriously, even when he does not. My brother committed the "ultimate" without ever voicing his intentions, so I am very sensitive about this issue. When myGFG makes any sort of suicidal threat, I always tell him I am going to call 911, so he knows that if he makes the threat he will be talking to the police. My vote was to shoot your difficult child an email reiterating what you need in order to start rebuilding a relationship just so he knew he was on your radar, but after reading his "Carrie" response I think if it were me (which it is not, and you are the only one who knows him), I would not respond, as I too believe it is playing into his hands and encouraging him to go thru your mom to get a rise out of you. Again, I don't offer this as any kind of indication what you should do, just my take on what I've read. [/QUOTE]
