i would definitely speak to a professional about this situation,even a family psychologist where you can go with your girls and discuss this you might be able to find out why they do this.

  Thank you

I would get a referral from your GP for a psychologist. It could be that they are just manipulating you and that is unacceptable. If their threats are real then they need to be dealt with. Dealing with the problem with your doctor, I would have the there at the appointment to explain why they say such things could be enough to sort it out. Good luck.

Threatening self harm is unfair behaviour. I would definitely seek the help of a professional in trying to communicate with your daughters the brevity of those threats. Once they truly understand how much anxiety it causes you, you may be able to negotiate with them about responsibilities and repercussions. My heart goes out to you.

My sons’ best friend committed suicide, it was very difficult on all of us. He called 10 minutes before hanging himself and to this day I regret not picking up the phone. Our son told us he was having trouble at home and was also in therapy for depression. I noticed changes in his friend, like changing his appearance, constantly saying good bye to everyone, closing his facebook, and being quite moody. Most that threaten to kill themselves don’t go through with it, they just want attention.

  Thank you

Thank you …. yes I do have a partner & yes and no It depends on his mood for support, but putting him in the mix can some times make the problem worse.

I am sorry for your problem you have and all I could think of was to have them checked by your GP and than see what they suggest. I hope you get it sorted or find an answer

  Thank you

My daughter does this also but in an attention seeking form. I’d suggest taking them individually to your GP and having a mental health assessment done. Good luck, it’s so hard raising children these days.

  Thank you

I would get this checked she could be suffering from depression. Its becoming out of control. I have a friend whos daughter passed away due to suicide and the school got involved and found out other kids were think the same thing even pne kid was planing to do it the same night as this girl. What are kids thinking these day the poor family that is left to pick up the pieces and watch them go through hell. I believe the mental health system should be more involved with these kind of issues. and they should talk about it a school.

  Thank you

I have been a suidical teenager with many failed attempts. I’m now a parent and also have friends with children that threaten self harm when they don’t get their own way. I doubt you could tell for sure if they are for real or not but I’d take it more seriously if they more withdrawn from school, friends and things they use to enjoy. If this is the case read up on how to help them and you and consider talking to a professional. If you think they aren’t serious this is probably because they only threaten self harm when you ask them to do something. Giving into them doesn’t do anyone any favours and means you are being held hostage to emotional blackmail. Find the approach that works best with your children i.e sitting down havein a calm discussion about all this, missing out on something fun… Does your husband if you have one help support your decisions?
