suicide threats

Going to court today. Not a final settlement day, just the beginning of talks. STBXNH has been sending me texts about wanting to kill himself and wanting to cut his throat with a knife. He is so depressed, etc.

Not responding. He created this whole nightmare and he wants me to hear how suicidal he is. It is just amazing!

Threats

Sorry Mallory that you have to deal with drama in addition to going to court. I hope that things go well for you today. I'm sure that it is difficult not to get sucked in, but remember that he created this situation, and he has to deal with the consequences.

mine did that. my therapist

mine did that. my therapist said the best thing to do is either call 911 or their family if they do that. she said what they are trying to do is manipulate you into staying in the relationship. she said the best thing to do is not play with their life. if you call 911 or their family, then it takes it out of your hands. when i did this with my now ex he got an involuntary trip to a mental facility to be assessed for suicide and was told he wasnt suicidal. i thought he learned his lesson, the next time got him a weekend stay at the facility. he hasnt done it since.

call his family

My ex N did this. My therapist said to call his family and let them deal with it. When I did they got angry at me and said they were sick of the drama. But it was off my hands. Call 911 or his family..just my 2 cents.

agree

Agree with you calling 911 to let them know you received a suicide threat. The chances of these people actually hurting themselves is close to nil. Plus people who carry out the threat don't typically discuss it over and over...??? Mine alluded to how everyone would be better off without him, etc..and in one e-mail he talked about how ending it all might not be such a bad idea. It's a sympathy ploy. He's still around apparently. Just shows you how low they will go to just get their needs met...not that they are really an unfortunate soul in real trouble! Plus mallory, this isn't your responsibility, which he's trying to make it. You can't help someone this deeply disturbed. You always did the best you could despite having this evil presence in your life. Try not to let it get to you!! hugs

suicide?

absolutely. Ns rarely commit suicide. He's full of crap and trying to play on your compassion. ALWAYS call 911 in their area. Report what you got from him and tell the police to go check on him and make a report if he's fine. And send it to your attorney! I would bet his g'friend would be very surprised to see the cops show up to check on his 'suicide' threats...

He hasn't contacted me

He hasn't contacted me. GF doesn't have her kids this weekend, so he doesn't need kids or me. Don't expect to hear much from him until Sunday or Monday. He is mad at me since I told him that I didn't know who he was anymore and that I feel our marriage was just a big lie. He told me he resented that and I needed to take that statement back. I didn't take it back, and I told him he made a mockery of everything I once cherished. So, I haven't heard from him. He is wounded, so I won't hear from him. Thank you for asking. If I get another suicide comment, I will call 911 in his area. Don't think he is suicidal. Neighbor saw him and GF having a grand ole time this afternoon.

I can't think of enough bad words to describe your stbx mallory. You can't believe anything they say - this guy has pulled 'everything'. Why in the world would he think he still has any credibility left?? (no need to answer that!)

My STBXNH has actually

My STBXNH has actually attempted suicide 4 times. Only once since I've known him. In March of 08 he hit me in the face. He came home drunk again and his cell phone started going off a midnight. It was a chic wanting to know where he was. I told him if he wanted to be single get out and he said for me to leave. I said "Be a man and do the right thing just leave" he said, "I'll show you man". Then he threw me on bed, straddled me and hit me in the face. I left and called the police who went to out house. Called me and said he had taken a whole bottle of XANAX. After 4 days in ICU he got a trip for 8 days to behavioral health hospital. Life was great for 9 months and then back to the same crap. I worry everyday that I'm going to get the call that he has done it again.

he's an adult

if you do get that call - remember it's NOT YOUR FAULT if he calls telling you he's taken pills - do NOT GO THERE - call the police immediately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK HERE: Articles & information for Victims - Updated Daily "As soon as you feel that crazy sense of walking on eggshells, fending off N-rage, stop.
