It is a troll but the DCUM clan of crazies wants to believe they are actually helping someone. They are not.

FWIW in the other thread OP clearly states OP is a woman. Some things don't add up. Like who would keep old pills if wife had previous attempts?

Four things:

1. OP, I am tremendously, tremendously sorry for what you and your son are going through. My sympathy extends to all those who have posted about their own struggles with similar situations.

2. PP, unless I am missing something, there is no indication that OP is a man.....There is only the indication that the poster is married to a woman with whom s/he has a 9 year old son. FWIW, OP's post in Website Feedback (in which s/he shares that s/he is also the poster of a situation with a nephew mired in a situation with pedophilia) has a similar writing voice -- and I have read that thread to suggest that OP is a woman.

3. OP, this is NOT your fault, but I would urge you to ensure that any prescription medications are kept locked or that you discard them. You refer to having over 90 CII pills at home because you no longer need them. A suicidal person needs to be in a situation free of drugs of all sorts. Again, this is not your fault and no one should theoretically have to re-script their life because of someone else, but access to substances (for someone who's attempted suicide) has to be really, really controlled.

4. In both threads you've shared, OP, you indicate that there's profound negligence on the part of authority figures (originally the police in the case of your nephew, the hospital and the pharmacy in the current post). Is there *any* authority (medical, legal, etc.) who has been helpful to you and your family recently? I am asking this, in all seriousness, because you need to be able to trust someone who has some level of external power. Your current and recent experiences suggest that there are no such figures for you.

I wish you luck. You have experienced two horrendous situations and you deserve a tremendous amount of support, as does your son and, in your other post, your nieces.

Something about the way the OP was written seems suspicious. Sounds like a woman wrote it. Someone who reads a lot of best-sellers. If this is made up, trolling on this level is manipulative and shitty. You can't feel good about this. Maybe join a writing group? You have a good imagination and a flair for drama.

So what do you assholes personally get out of the troll hunt?

Simple. It's about protecting kind hearted posters who will be emotionally manipulated by crazy trolls.

700 pills? Do you seriously believe this? A person on their THIRD suicide attempt in a year would have access to 700 pills of anything?

Total lie.

If this is real Do Not tell your son. That would be a terrible burden to put on him to be on permanent suicide watch for the rest of his life. Write a letter to the doctors in charge and explain the entire family dynamic with your wife released. I have successfully argued psychiatrists out of releasing a family member prematurely several times. Put s letter in writing with the history and present situation including questions about how to keep her safe when you go to work and how to protect your son.

New PP here, and I don't think this is a troll. My ex has tried to commit suicide several times and I totally get this. My ex is also smart enough to convince doctors he doesn't need trearment and has all,kinds of excuses. And yes, psychiatrists proscribe sleeping pills to suicidical people. My ex collects them in addition to every other pill he can get his hands on.

Why is this person trolling? It's not funny.

I don't understand how she could possibly convince a medical professional that taking over 700 pills was an accident. That makes no sense.

Yeah, she slipped and they fell in her mouth -- all 700 of them!

I think you really need to do everything you can to get her in a mental health facility for the long term and figure out what is going on whether her meds are out of whack or whatever. You don't want your son coming home to find your wife dead. Ignore the troll accusations and stay focused on getting her the help that she (and you) needs.

haha, you don't have much experience with mental health these days? this isn't the 50s with girl interrupted. it is very hard to commit someone against their will. even if they want to be in mental hospital, often it requires paying out of pocket.

You mean unless they commit a crime? Why does a clearly unstable person have a say in this? Especially when a child is at risk?

b/c she is now saying she is not suicidal, it was an accident. the level of instability that must be exhibited must be extreme to commit against will; this is why homeless population exploded in 80s when mental hospitals were closed and committing folks became much stricter. its good and bad, b/c going against people's will does have drawbacks.
