OK. As a child of what used to be called a 'battered woman', I've paid a lot of attention to these issues most of my life.
My opinion: If you can't say for sure that he's safe, then he's dangerous.

Here's my thing with that -
I have stages when it comes to suicidality
1. I start thinking how it would be better if I were dead (no plans, no thoughts of making plans - just thoughts of how much better things would be)
2. I start forming ideas - no real thought of carrying them out, but whimsical ideas bc I still care what others feel.
3. I start making serious plans and no longer care what others think because I feel nobody cares about me anyway.
4. Attempt
It isn't until I get to stage 3 I am in crisis - but all stages are unsafe however not all will cause death. What I need to know is the indicators of "crisis".
Does that make sense?
