[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 90328, member: 3450"] I have to agree with HereWeGoAgain--the suicidal thoughts were written some time ago--there does not seem to be an immediate threat and we don't know if there ever was a real threat. But for everyone to act as if it is now an emergency doesn't make sense to me. I do think wife should be talking to the doctors, not just you. I don't think she is going to put any stock in what you say but she might if she hears it from a "professional." My difficult child 1 had some suicidal ideation and even took a handful of Ibuprofen one time and ended up in the ER. We told her if she was going to threaten suicide (it was a way to manipulate us) then she would be taken to the ER for an evaluation. She couldn't use it as a tool against us. She was admitted to the adolescent psychiatric unit a couple of times and so she saw we were serious and she quit threatening. So, I am not saying you shouldn't take suicidal threats or thoughts seriously but it could well be that he didn't mean it as he told your wife or that he meant it at the time but no longer feels that way. It is really a difficult position you are in. I think you should keep coming here to post if it is helpful to you. If it is annoying to others that you don't take advice they could just skip your threads. Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
