I do talk about them just not with my therapist.

here I have at the least 2 friends that my son and I consider family that I know I can go to them at any time and talk to them.

I have a very special email friend that I know I can write to about this any time (day or night now that I have my computer.)

I have the very best friends that my son and I consider family on the east coast that I met in a very special group called HOPE (Helping Ourselves through Personal Empowerment) that have seen me through the worst part of fighting against one of my abusers, one of which is DID and had landed in the same hospital that I did, and another whos daughter was DID and died of suicide. They all understand where Im at and have no problems listening (and kicking my butt in gear) on the subject of suicide. I can call or email them any time day or night.

here when you have a child in foster care due to mental illness ( my sons first stay in foster care was because I was suicidal and was going to act on it) DHS has the parents meet with the DHS mental health consultant and draw up a mental health safety plan. Which includes getting names and numbers of frineds willing to be on an emergency list for the parents and children. And after its signed each person on the emergency list is contacted by DHS to varify they consent to being an emergency support person for the family. I have at the least 20 names on that list of people I can call day or night, and they will be here by phone or in person for me.

Plus I have Psych Central, NAMI and a couple other groups that I am in online and Theres also a monday night walk in support group here in town I can go to, plus I have been running a branch of the HOPE group here too so I have those contacts when needed.

Please don't worry I have many resources for things that I don't discuss with my therapist.

Thanks for caring.
