My daughter threatened and made half-hearted attempts several times. If she really wanted to die, she would be dead. She isn't. She has straightened herself out and is now going to school and working. You did great yesterday when he called. When we stop reacting to their drama, they are forced to look inside themselves. I pray that your son will realize that the reason he is in the situation he is in is because of the choices he has made and not anything anyone has done to him. It is never to late to turn our lives around.
