My 16 year Old son was admitted to psykiatric emergency ward (not in England, not my language i hope you get it)
From there i Got a Call . My son was rushed to emergency, as he has taken a lot of pills in order to end his life. Before he came there - he has been collecting.
I woke up my dh , not his father but lived together 11 years . His respond was "im sorry, i hope it work out, i love you"
Then i went to Living room , making calls, trying to find where son is and how he is doing. Talked to nurse and to son. He is Ok.
Now it is 2.30 in the morning. I went to bed, talked shortly to dh and it accured to me - he is going to work tomorrow! He is no where near loosing his job, i dont get how he Can! I have a dd 12 - which he has known and lived with since she was 1 - and i have to get up and do School run. I Got up again , i cant sleep.
I know they Are mine. But am i really being unreasonable thinking it would be Nice if he offered some emotionel and practical support tomorrow?

I'm so sorry OP. I hope your son is ok. I don't think you're being unreasonable at all to want support.

I think you need to ask him if he hasn't offered - you really do need support.

Sorry about your son, hope he recovers soon Flowers

its been a tough evening for you... no you are not being unreasonable to anticipate a bit of support.

hope you and your loved ones come through this ok

Son is not In any danger. But mentally he is in a really bad place and have been for a long time. Not getting much help from health Care - another long story.
But i am hurt that i have to sit here alone, phoning around to even find him, and hear news (im one of the idiots who live In the middle of nowhere and cant drive - also another long story)
And i think he could have gotten up with me. And called in sick tomorrow - i Think a suicide attempt in near family make that legit?
And he is snooring away..
