My son is 13 and when I was yelling at him about homework and taking his electronics away he said "maybe I should just kill myself". I later asked him questions and he said he is fine and I explained how that is not something to just say- that it has to be taken seriously.

Scares the crap out of me. He is sensitive and quiet. He is a thinker (very very smart- hence not wanting to do homework- aces tests) and in the past has had huge meltdowns and when he was younger- maybe 8- he said the suicide thing.

I am afraid to tell him more info about my past. I am scared that he will take it as an ok to do so. I don't worry about my daughter, but I am so afraid my son will have my depression
