Help exDH suicidal

Posting her for traffic.
Don't want to drip feed - cheating ex husband (several affairs) has now decided that he wants to be a family again. Except his idea of being a family is basically controlling me. He's controlled me for years and I've told him no more. So he's shut himself away (very close by) and said he's basically going to kill himself.
WTF do I/can I do??
He's saying that if I don't want my kid to be damaged and lose Daddy then I'd do what he was asking to make sure she didn't 😭😭

Call the police and walk away

Quartz2208 · 10/01/2019 17:49

call the police and leave it with them that it all you can do

And stick to it you need to put yourself and you child first

Oldraver · 10/01/2019 17:49

Phone the police/ambulance and tell them he's threatening suicide.

The block him

worriedfuckingsick · 10/01/2019 17:50

What will the police do?

You phone 999 and then ignore.

Massive hugs, this is not your problem and he's continuing being abusive.

Fairylightfurore · 10/01/2019 17:50

Phone the police, and then his Mum. Don't get drawn into his attempts at control. Send a clear message this is unacceptable.

Geminijes · 10/01/2019 17:50

Ignore him. He is still trying to control you by his actions.

RJnomore1 · 10/01/2019 17:50

Police will do a welfare check and get him medical help if needed

ohfourfoxache · 10/01/2019 17:51

Police - and then do nothing.

It sounds like he’s a manipulative wankstain

ElspethFlashman · 10/01/2019 17:51

And you haven't called 999, why??

MsFrosty · 10/01/2019 17:51

Ignore and block.

Bringbackthestripes · 10/01/2019 17:51

Jesus, so he is trying to manipulate you into playing happy families!

Call the police and do not engage with him.

aaaaargghhhhelpme · 10/01/2019 17:51

The police will investigate and get him help if needed. Do that now

And if it turns out he’s being manipulative and emotionally blackmailing you there will also be a record

OccasionallyIncomplet · 10/01/2019 17:51

Ambulance - not police....they can do very little unless he is literally standing at the edge of a cliff. He needs medical intervention.

worriedfuckingsick · 10/01/2019 17:52

His parents are dead 😩
I'm worried about sending the police because he is practically on the doorstep anyway but my LOs friends are right next door. If the police turn up now they'll see them and can make contact via phones

OP posts:
Quartz2208 · 10/01/2019 17:52

the police will deal with him - call 999 they can get the ball rolling they will be easily able to determine how serious he is and deal with it from there

Do that and then stop engaging.

Pinkybutterfly · 10/01/2019 17:52

That's just another way of controlling you dear xxxxxxxxxx you need to tell him is his choice nothing you can do

Trudstrundr2 · 10/01/2019 17:53

Report to 999 then walk away

He's not your responsibility, he's an adult, and an emotionally manipulative shit at that

worriedfuckingsick · 10/01/2019 17:53

Would it be really awful of me to say that to him? I can't cope with his emotional blackmail any more but the thought of passing on that news makes my stomach turn.

OP posts:
Strongmummy · 10/01/2019 17:53

So he’s still trying to control you this time through threats and fear. Tell him you’ve alerted the mental health services of his condition and then ignore .

NoLeslie · 10/01/2019 17:53

Agree it is right to call 999, tell the police, they will take it seriously. It is not your fault, whatever happens. Hope things turn out ok.

HildaZelda · 10/01/2019 17:55

He's not going to do it. 100%. I had an ex who threatened me the same way and told me it would be my fault when he did. I ended up having to go to the police because he also threatened me in other ways and stalked me.
I told him I was going to go to the police and he sneered at me and didn't believe me.
I did and as soon as he was spoken to by police, that was the end of all his nonsense.

Go to the police NOW OP, please and don't listen to anything he's saying.

AnoukSpirit · 10/01/2019 17:55

Watch this, roll your eyes at his lack of originality, and then carry on with your day: m.youtube.com/watch?v=d5NHBn5p9vY

And then do the Freedom Programme to help you navigate his bullshit. Www.freedomprogramme.co.uk

fiydwi · 10/01/2019 17:55

He has no intention of killing himself, it’s just emotional blackmail.
Someone who wants to kill the selves doesn’t go around telling people.
Call the police and ignore him,

NoLeslie · 10/01/2019 17:55

As for his friends seeing police/Your DC friends seeing police (sorry I'm confused) - that doesn't matter really. You do what you need to and explain as appropriate afterwards.
