[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677703, member: 18958"] Has he actually spoken of suicide or wanting to die? If he makes a threat I would call 911. If he is assessed to be a danger to himself he will be hospitalized against his will for several days, probably, sometimes more. No matter how much you watch over him you cannot prevent him from hurting himself if he decides to. You can take any threat seriously and insist that he seek and sustain treatment, as a condition of living with you. Seeing a therapist is so important for you and for his welfare. One could argue that not going out of fear presents as much or a greater risk than taking the risk to leave for a hour and a half. But only you can decide. Perhaps you can call the therapist back and discuss your fears and they will help you decide. I am very glad you found a therapist for you. Keep posting. Let us know how it goes. COPA [/QUOTE]
