Cry for help, or trying to hold me emotional hostage?
A few days ago, SD14 got into an argument with her BM. I believed SD misunderstood what her BM said. Anyway, SD has been walking around since Tuesday, saying how she wants to die.
This morning, SD said she wanted to skip her meds ( for bronchitis), before school. At lunch, she texted me, and I told her it was bothering me, that she keeps making these comments. SD said she does want to die, and she has a plan.
At first, she said she awouldn't promise not to hurt herself. Then she would. Then, she just really felt like she needed help, RIGHT NOW. After that, she just quit texting me.
I called up to my mom's for a ride to school. My brother in law came after me. Then I called the school, and had SD pulled from class.
When we got home, I called the office where SD gets therapy. They sent out the Crisis Interventi,on Team, and SD and I spoke to them. They told me they thought SD would be fine.
Then, SD12 came home. We hung out together

Anyway, everything was "fine" until my mom called. Then, both girls started with the " tell grandma", and I held up my hand, to make them quit. When I'm on the phone, *I* like to talk to my caller.
SD14 got upset, and went down the hall. She went to her bedroom to call her older sister. She raised her voice and was very agitated, so I hung up with my mom, and went to talk to SD14.
I don't know if.SD14 SAID she was thinking about killing herself again, or just left me with that impression. But she said SD12 interrupted her, and it hurt her feelings that I didn't

( STUPID PHONE!!!)
It hurt her feelings that I didn't let her interrupt me when I was talking to my mom.
Then, when I went to the bathroom, SD14 grabbed a knife, and held it up to her face. A meat clever. How did she want to kill herself earlier? By slitting her throat with a kitchen knife.
Hubby, finally made it home. He's sleeping with the knives and medicine, while I sleep on the couch with SDs.
I'm not sure what to do here. I'm TIRED! And stressedout.

You are being played by a bratty teen. She is making you worry.
Jsmom, I kind of think so,
Jsmom, I kind of think so, too, but what if I'm wrong? Both of my SDs have had traumatic lives, full of abuse, neglect and hurt.I wouldn't blame them if they did want to die.
Maybe she is being played.
Maybe she is being played. But that is a very dangerous assumption to make. Very dangerous. Because maybe this girl is unstable.

Emotionally, that's how I feel. What if it's real? I wish I could read her mind!

Serene, I watched her intense highs and lows yesterday, and I kept thinking " this kid is bipolar!"
Her mom is bipolar, her older sister is bipolar, an Freed her younger sister is ODD.
Played or not the fix is call
Played or not the fix is call 911 tell them YOU are very concerned she IS going to hurt herself or others and has told you she has a PLAN. She'll get a ride and a 3 day hold if needed if not then hopefully she'll get this isn't a game. I've been on both ends the concerned person and the medic. Take it serious BUT let the professionals take it serious. Know what I mean. Step back and make her have to deal with the pros she may just need help.
Lalena, our county ( city?
Lalena, our county ( city? State?) doesn't do an automatic psych hold. At least, in my experience, they won't.
I called the psychiatrist office, and they're the ones who sent out the crisis intervention team.
HallowPoints, there BM still
HallowPoints, there BM still has SOME rights. She has the right to get off her ass, get a job, and pay child support . She has the right to get off drugs, take care of her criminal charges and petition through children's services for supervised visits.
Hubby and I have full custody, though.
SD14 called her Busted Mother (I love it!) Because she wants me to adopt her. I want that, to, and have mentioned mentionedit to BM, but SD wanted to talk to her, herself.
