[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 707718, member: 11832"] wisernow, has your son had any suicide threats since you have detached? What was your response? When Ferb had the shotgun shell in his mouth I had a thought that was walk away and let him do what he is threatening to do. There was a piece of me that knew that all of this was over the $25 I asked him to pay for his internet service so that he could play Xbox. In the heat of the moment, I reacted the way any loving person would, and I called 911. At the hospital and again yesterday with his therapist, he insisted that he was not really suicidal. That he had been closer to suicide many times before that I knew nothing about. He was only mad. I know Ferb. He will get mad again. Each time he gets mad it is worse. The next time will be worse and will probably happen when this woman dumps him. SWOT, I had the same kind of parents. They stopped helping me with life when I was 12 years old. I don't think growing up at 12 is the best idea, but you have to figure it out for yourself at some point. SWOT, I admire you for handling your own mental illness in such a sturdy and intelligent way. You are an inspiration! That is in marked contrast to my late husband's parents who bailed him out of jail at age 55. I was the one who put him in there for violating a protective order that I had against him. He should have stayed in jail, not been "rescued" by his daddy. Nomad, thank you for your very kind words. Life has been too rough lately. Kindness goes along way to making it better. [/QUOTE]
