[quote=Anonymous]OP, did he get admitted? Wishing the best for you and your kids. My dad had affairs, drank and threatened suicide whenever my mom seemed to be getting more independent. It was a bad life for a kid, revolving around his manipulations and her co-dependence. He never did off himself. If the talk of suicide did not draw her in he'd go to AA for a few weeks, rinse repeat. Even as a kid I would say, "let him do what he is going to do" because I knew we had no control over him and it was not a good way to live. Once he is in a safe place, focus on yourself and your kids. The cognitive dissonance poster really laid it out. To admit harm to people and to work to repair relationships requires a strong sense of self and coping skills. Sounds like his therapist may not be up for the job. A Gottman trained therapist might be better and if he has any trauma history that has to be addressed. [/quote]
