Was woken by a phone call this morning at 4:30 by a phone call from my sons GF to say that he had taken an overdose while staying at her mums house overnight. He's been acting a bit bizarre for the past few weeks including threatening to jump out of my high rise flat window (only found this out a couple of night ago). Last I heard he hadn't yet been seen by anyone in hospital.
As you all know, ive had my own share of mental 'episodes' but my own father once tried to take his life and suffered with depression and one of my sisters has spent time in a psych ward.
I don't know where any of this will all end.
Why does stuff like this seem to run in families?
Apologies if I sound a bit incoherent, Im tired and confused and maybe need to offload a bit.
Thanks.

So sorry to hear this Nailit. I tend to believe it's a combination of factors that all come together to wreck havoc on those who are vulnerable. Don't blame yourself, and I hope your son gets the help he needs.
Tambo, I'm not sure refusing to see your son until he apologizes is the best move. He was at a low point and hit out at the only person he could. Better to keep seeing him and keep communication open.
