Was brought up earlier in the thread and yes Suicide can be used as a form of manipulation, especially if used repeatedly. refer that person to Emergency if there a boyfriend or friend best to end that relationship or stop contact and, if there family member or friends set form boundaries and limit contact. Someone who uses that to control you is sadistic.

And real people in distressed and who are ACTUALLY suicidal can get over looked.

I agree calling some manipulative may not be good, but you can point out to someone that their BEHAVIOUR is, people with good intentions can have manipulative behaviour (that they learned growing up) that could end of being very detrimental for them because that's not a healthy was to communicate you needs or interact with others.
