How to resolve this - help please

Hi Mumsnetters
I have name changed as this may be outing.

Having serious emotional problems with my teen son and don't know where to turn. He says he wants to be dead, and in floods of years today - this has been lurking in the background for a while. I have a GP appointment on Friday but not sure how much they can help.

Ex is saying that I am preventing contact, as I have booked 2 clubs in the summer - he was so excited to be going (2 x 6 days). Apparently this has ruined ex's holiday plans, that I was totally unaware of.

He is telling DS I am trying to stop him seeing him and making their time together miserable. DS has been learning about relationships at school and says Dad is gaslighting.

I'm so worried about my son's mental health, he just feels so isolated. Hardly any friends at school and a very disjointed life with a lot of school moves -(I've also contacted school about )

You need to tell the GP you need an appointment tomorrow as your son is having mental health issues. Don't wait until Friday. Mental health in young ones is taken very seriously nowadays so you should be seen earlier. Your son will probably be referred to CAHMS. Can you get your son into therapy? That would be the first thing I would do while waiting to see a psychiatrist.
It's been a very tough time for young people with all these lockdowns. I think they are suffering the most. Talk to your son and reassure him. I hope he's ok.
