lunasmom said:I am involved, and it's not that I don't want to really be involved but it's the simple fact that even if I do call, I honestly do not believe it will do any good. It will cost me her friendship and put my family in the way of harm. And I know to take suicide threats seriously having been suicidial(I was also a cutter so I'm familiar with this area) at one point and time in my life. The only thing is, when a person threatens it alot, you're never sure when to take them seriously. She's threatened this before, however, it was when she was suffering abuse by her parents. And when I helped her go to the cops about the abuse, nothing was done, she went back home to them (she's emmancipated (sp?) and didn't have to. She was offered a place at my home) and told me that I shouldn't have talked her into going to the police and causing such a scene.
I guess I should have probably provided that info in the initial story :/
I hope I'm not being a bad person, but it's hard to know when she's serious? Does that make sense or do I sound insensitive?
