Question: More help with my stepson!.!.!.!?
My stepson has had a few sucide attempts in the last year, taking pills, making a knoose but got too drunk to use it, and lastly cutting his wrist!.

He is 21 and just moved in with us in february after his mom kicked him out for being violent!. His mom and him have since repaired thier relationship!. With this last attempt, we are all very worried again and not sure how to approach him!. When we have in the past he gets defensive and literally leaves for a few days then ignores us!. I want him to move out as he as caused so much tension in our house, but i am scared for him!. Im not sure how to approach him best!. Should I leave until the situation is resolved!? It is my boyfriends son, and we have been together a year and a half!. i am so stressed and now my bf and i fight!. his son is irresponsible and a careless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

He's 21, why are you allowing him to live with you!? You indicated this is your BF and it's been less than 2 years!.!.!.!.why would you continue to put yourself under the stress of this!? You can only control your actions/responses not those of others!. Move on, don't continue to risk your own safety!. You BF needs to address these things with his son, the son is not stable and I wouldn't allow him in my life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Please make his life a priority - if you or his father drop the ball, he could die!. It's stressful for you and everyone else around him, but you have to help him get through this!.
Maybe put him in the hospital again!. Involuntary commitment is available if he's a danger to himself (or others)!. They'll hold him until he's not in danger anymore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
