A very special person to me has been struggling with suicidal thoughts on and off throughout his life. He quit drinking about 3 months ago, recovering alcoholic. He just started working again doing what he loves, he has been sober and repairing relationships that were damaged by his alcoholism, including ours. I have loved him for a long time - the feelings are mutual. We had a beautiful relationship that was damaged by the alcoholism. We started talking daily again and have just recently started seeing each other, taking things one step at a time VERY slowly. I have been very encouraging, supportive, and so very proud of his progress... and now this. I can visit him Thursday evening in a mental health facility where he has been hospitalized, but I'm afraid I will say something that will cause more damage. Any suggestions? Any topics to avoid? This is not something people go through on a daily basis... any experienced or professional opinions would be greatly appreciated...
