Guest guest Posted May 3, 1998 Report Share Posted May 3, 1998 My 4 yr old grandson finally actually attempted suicide. He tried to hang himself with the curtain cord while his mom and brother napped. He has told all of us in the family he wished he was dead and didn't deserve to live, he is garbage, etc. His mom went to a community mental health clinic for an appt. I forced her into earlier and talked for 2 hrs and they said they would put his case before their board and maybe see him in June as all the vacation times for their employees in May. I got him in the next morning with my therapist at no charge. My son is no longer mad at me for threatoning to take custody of unless he got help for him & Connie. I know most of his problems come from his mom who is really messed up but we do have the genetic predisposition to depression and exposure to the wrong fds and chemicals hieghtens it also. My nephew attempted suicide as a teen, and I have 2 great-uncles who did it, 1 after killing his wife. I have been suicidal in the past from chemical exposure. Do any of you or your family members suffer from this sort of thing? Are any of your children on anti-depressants so that I could get an idea of what is what with that sort of thing? I will accept private email on this if anyone is uncomfortable responding in the group. joelinda@... S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
