Oh. !!!!!!.

:wall:


I was here a while back trying to get out of a crap relationship.


Things have been good. Much better with him away from me.



But he's back. And he's threatening to kill himself. He appeared sat on the garden wall with a kitchen knife to his wrist. I shouted through the window not to make a mess of the block paving, but he wasn't too happy about that answer.

There's something about some blood results at the doctors, most likely a screwed liver, especially as he also takes stupid quantities of paracetamol/codeine that he steals off relatives. Something about his Mum not wanting him. God knows what else, my mind had drifted to what to have for dinner by that point.


It says online that I'm supposed to talk to him nicely because he's threatening suicide and try to get him to seek help. Do I really have to do this? I'm giving him the attention he wants and, to be absolutely brutally honest, I really don't care if he dies or not. I'm immune to his whining - and I know from the past that he always did this to previous girlfriends. So it's probably all pretend, anyway. But if I say the wrong thing and he does do it, is there any comeback on me?



Am I supposed to be phoning anybody? The police, who will probably tazer him for being in the street with a knife (which would serve him right)? His GP, who is miles and miles away at his mother's? Or is that giving him too much attention?



What do I do?


Well, other than invest in some enzyme paving cleaner on the offchance he goes for the big dramatic gesture when I'm at the supermarket?

Police, asap.

Call the police, they will contact his doctor or social services if needs be, they are trained to deal with mental health issues. This is emotional blackmail, don't rise to it or it will get worse. How do you know what medical results he has really? His GP will not discuss the case with you under data protection, they may not even admit he is a registered patient.

Police definitely

As above call the police.

Call the police!

I agree with the above. Call the police, close your windows and close the curtains and don't give him any more attention.

TBH no matter who was sitting on my kitchen wall covered in blood and holding a knife, I'd call the police. Whether I knew them or not. Even if you're not moved by him (fair enough) you never know who might come along and get injured. If he's unstable enough to be sitting holding a knife and threatening to kill himself I'd take the risk of injury to others as enough of a reason to call them.

Just in case you haven't got the message -

call the police now.

Saturnalia

Yep, I'm with the rest, call the police in.

(I have to say I laughed at your comment about not messing the paving - gosh I'm evil.)

Cheers, local police.

They said they won't come around unless he actually hurts himself or tries to force entry. And he'll only walk away if he hears them coming and then they can't do anything anyway as there's no evidence anything has happened.


So, he's wandered off now, maybe to a car, maybe to an off licence (muttering to myself 'what do you mean 'maybe an off licence?''). Have to wait to see if he comes back and kicks off again.



!!!!. Why he can't go and make somebody else's life a misery, God only knows. And after 9 months!



Why couldn't I have got myself some giant of a boyfriend in that time?


If he shows up again, I'll call them again. But they seem to be unwilling to get out the station tonight. Is there football on?
