Oh, you two....I feel so badly for you both. Has Alex acted this way before? Or is only since the separation?
If it's feasible, financially, it couldn't hurt to take him to counseling...at least with the school social worker which would be free (once school starts again).
You must be feeling awful, Barbara. I can imagine it really hurts to hear your son say he wants to kill himself. But at the same time, you still have to be the mom and discipline him when he acts up. Tough situation.
Just keep talking to him, once he settles down a bit...let him know how much you love him, but that it upsets you when he doesn't behave nicely.
How old is he? Maybe when school starts again he will do better with his old routine again..something that is familiar. Will he be going to his old school with his old friends?
I'm not a parent, so I probably shouldn't be trying to offer you advice on this one...but I just feel badly for both of you. I hope you had a nice vacation at least.
