Hi all
Am looking for some advice. Will do my best to explain situation. I have an ex I split with him six years ago due to his heavy drinking and all the problems that go with it. I left my home behind and had to start again with our son. I met someone else- all good we are happy we live separately as he has 50 percent custody of his children. My problem is my ex is texting me saying he feels suicidal... he lives with his mother and he sees our son at weekends every weekend so he has lots of contact. He’s saying he would end it if it wasn’t for our son. I’ve said to him our son loves him, always looks forward to seeing him so focus on that. Am hyper aware at the moment as have had a close friend take her life .. Amy advice ?

I dont know what you can do other than what you are doing. He needs help but txting you is very unfair. Must be so distressing for you

I too would be worried for your son's safety if he's having suicidal thoughts. Not to scaremonger but you do hear of men who commit suicide and take the lives of their children to spite the mother. Absolutely tell his mother she needs to be aware.
