Trigger
Hi all so this is a triggering question
dd was away at uni and made a suicide attempt start this week. ** She took herself to a&e was kept in for a few days. First attempt. No indication anything was wrong. We’re in good contact by telephone or what’s app every 1/2 days. Normally discuss all stuff.

Husband went to hospital and stayed and is due to bring her home. i have not told my 13 year old what has happened. I have said she was sick, went to hospital and they kept her in. I explained father has gone because she is sick and he will stay to travel back with her.
AIBU not to tell 13 year old?

** post edited by MNHQ as it contained reference to suicide method.
