Thanks for the reply, Fergus. I was told by my son's psych to call a county crisis intervention center, which I did. They were awesome, but since I got the message second hand, they needed to talk to my son's girlfriend so they could get the info first hand. They warned me this would happen, but never in a million years would I of believed it, but girlfriend refused to talk to them. She was afraid they would take him away and hospitalize him again.

I tried as hard as I could to get through to her that they were just going to send someone out to talk to him and if (and only if)they felt he would harm himself, they would need a paper signed and they would call the police and take him. Oh my gosh, I got every excuse in the world: He's better now - not as upset. But he hasn't talked about suicide in 2 hours. He's calming down. Why do they have to talk to him? (she was afraid he would go off on them and they would take him away).....huuuummmmm...well he isn't that in control, is he? Ended up the crisis center called back and said girlfriend wouldn't answer her phone so there was nothing they could do. If he decides to do something, I guess she'll have to live with that on her shoulders.

Doesn't she understand that things aren't going to get better, especially now that he's decided to stop his meds? Things were still really tough when he was on them because I don't think he was on the right dose yet. I'm a little upset with her, but then again, I was young once too, and didn't have the best judgement (heck, I still don't, LOL!)

He's still not talking to me but he'll need something sooner or later and he knows where to come. I'll always love him and be there for him. I talked to his pdoc before she left for the day and she said pretty much, that there's nothing I can do at this point. Just get on with my life and try not to worry about his. I have no say or control over how he chooses to live his. I feel so sad for him and would give the world to help him. Thanks for listening.....
