Example of my daughter. 2 years ago she called me in a panic from her friends house, she said her husband had threatened suicide. This was about a month after the Las Vegas attempt. I asked her if she had the kids with her, and if she called 911.
She told me she asked the kids, at that time 5 and 7 to come with her, they told her no, so she left them at home, and that she was going to watch a movie now with her friend, and she would call me the next day. I told her to call 911 or I would and that she better get home and get those kids, that you never leave kids alone with someone who is suicidal.
She went home and called me back, told me everything was fine and that he was just joking.
I am going to tell her she should spend time with her kids, and perhaps get them back into therapy. I really don't care how she takes it. I've done it before, she only stopped talking to me for a month that time.
