[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 761828, member: 22877"] I don't know how many times my son has told me on the phone or via text that he was going to jump off an overpass or in front of a train, or how many times he has said as much on Facebook. While I take those seriously I always feel he's looking for sympathy or attention because if he really intended to kill himself he would have already done so. Plus, and I'm no expert, but from what I understand, most of the people who actually do commit suicide don't say anything about it beforehand or they write about it in a journal or diary rather than voicing it to those around them. Also know that if the worst comes to the worst, there is absolutely nothing you can do or say to prevent it, and none of this, NONE, is your fault. It sounds like you have bent over backwards to help while keeping reasonable boundaries, and he has pushed those boundaries to the limit. Hugs and prayers. [/QUOTE]
