Remember my x DID try to kill himself.. left the note, everything. AND after that and until last summer there were OFTEN threats of this. In regards to him (not your kids) him.... he needs help and all you can do is listen and then SUGGEST COUNSELING and you would be his FRIEND through it (if he needs that and if you can handle it!) BUT DO NOT LET HIM put this garbage on you!! I have dealt with this SAME garbage through my stitch.... and it is TERRIFYING and the GUILT is unbelievable.... BUT I USED MY C over and OVER throughout and we made a plan.... if there was a time when I REALLY thought they my x would try i was going to call 911 and tell them what he was saying..... then it is up to them.
in regards to meeting him. YES GO! IN A PUBLIC place - but in a place where he will have the ability to talk to you openly. I will pray for you.... I am so sorry you are goign through this.
Your son didn't tell you and that breaks my heart - I am so very glad your daughter spoke up!! BRAVO BRAVO!! (i mean that!!) If you can get your kids into c i would strongly suggest it---- give them that safe place. THE LAST thing that they need is to feel the RESPONSIBILITY of his life....
sorry to rant on about this one my friend. THIS IS serious stuff!! All the choices he made are smack in his face. I agree with Cinders.... be still - be quiet and listen...
