[quote=Anonymous]We've been through this twice with young teen boys and my husband went through this as well as a teen. The boys have been in therapy, as needed, and we've also done family therapy. None of the therapists have been in network, unfortunately. What does your son's therapist say? Our experienced therapist knew that my son's life was not in danger and that we did not need to take him to the ER after he expressed that he might want to end his life to a friend. This is really tricky territory though so I was glad that we had a well-trained therapist that we trusted. All of this was a wake-up call for my often traveling DH to be more involved in our kids' lives. It is really hard to take this on alone, as a parent. FYI, We've been non-meds all the way. However, we have very large therapy bills. Our kids will always need to be aware of their mental health but for both of them, those early teen years seem to have been the low point. [/quote]
