If I knew that my child was suicidal, I'd drop everything in my life and keep 'em as close to me as possible.
I'd talk to him about it. I'd turn the lights out at night with him in bed and me sitting nearby . . . talking is easier with lights out.
What's so bad that he feels he must die for it?
What does "he" need to improve his situation? There are always a million alternatives, make a list, think up choices yourself. Put down the best, the worst and in-betweeners.
Talk to him about the true value of his life. I believe that we all have a very specific purpose in life and that no one else on Earth can do it. Times are stressed these days, and we definitely need everyone doing their job.
He's got one, it relates to what he really, really loves to do and often did as a young child. Encourage him and get whatever he needs to be able to do this on a regular basis. He builds in body, mind and soul when doing this activity.
I also believe that, in spirit form, we chose to come to these particular parents and this particular time. Why? What experiences does he tend to draw to him? Victim? Bully? Out-of-control drugs? In the pattern of experiences, there is a clear message to be learned. Learn it and you get to move on to different experiences.
Does he have demons from his past that you may be unaware of ? Abuse, loneliness, inability to fit in, shunned, belittled???
As I said in a previous post, I'd get a chiropractic adjustment first, every nerve to everything in the physical body goes through the spine. Things can't function properly if they aren't getting the proper electrical feed (sets up chemical imbalances 'cause glands and organs can't work correctly).
I'd get him into a once-a-week full body massage (NOT deep and painful) and possibly Reiki. Deep, deep relaxation, time to think and be pampered. It also unclogs blocked pathways in the body and reduces pent-up body stress.
I'd get him into a homeopathic physician ASAP . . . this begins working within 15 minutes. See my previous post. If you need the link, I'll dig it up.
I'd begin the Bach Flower Remedies on him . . . they work on emotions and mindsets. Negative emotions and mindsets create dis-ease.
I'd take him to private counseling sessions, but I'd interview their philosophies first. I know Dr. Phil is hooked in with the Big Plan for the World (which includes the current dismantling of America and other developed countries and the current "bringing in-line" of radical nations), but his "no BS style" is pretty effective. Cut through the crap and get to the core.
I'd keep that boy real close to me. I'd love him, I'd talk with him, I'd do things with, and for, him. I'd hug him a lot and talk about the things that he's interested in. I'd fill him in on some of my weakest moments and deepest, darkest fears. We all have them, he is not alone or different, he just needs help right now. Then, I'd love him, I'd talk with him, I'd do things with, and for, him, etc., etc.
I'd also look at my life to see what's so wrong that it could allow this to develop into suicide, and I'd make positive changes immediately, even if radical changes are needed. Maybe the two of you could go for all of the above treatments/counseling together on occasion. Many problem children have problems at home -- fix the problems with yourself.
And, I'd pray every night to God. I'd put up a blanket of God's pure white light and love, and I'd surround him with it constantly -- upon arising in the morning, constantly throughout the day (you're thinking about it anyway, might as well be asking for protection for him), before you go to sleep at night.
Teach him how to put this blanket-of-protection around himself.
Then, I'd revise, edit and add to the above as progress is made. What should result is a close knit and powerful bond between the two of you.
This differs substantially from the result of institutionalized, separated "treatment" which is fear, mistrust and anger towards the parent.
Just my thoughts!
