After weeks of harrsement from his father he finally told me about it. I called the cops but they did nothing. My son said he should kill himself and that he was sorry he was gay and that he was causing so much trouble. thats the last thing i want him to be thinking about but he won't listen to me. What should i do i don't want him to do anything ? i took away every sharp object i can find and hid them. i don't think we can afford thraphy

Tell his father what's going on.
Be accepting, he's your son and you love him obviously, just be the most accepting person he could turn to.

i think of it would be particularly risk-free to assert that your son has an extremely severe case of information superhighway habit. i think of the only thank you to settle in this difficulty is to seek for professional help. Your first port of call would desire to be a GP. they might desire to be waiting to grant you some usual suggestion on the difficulty. The habit is extremely actual, even though it is hard to appreciate what to assert, as this would be a sparkling phenomenon and that i doubt whether a lot learn has been comprehensive on the difficulty. Your added information coach how a lot your son has lost touch with certainty - "severe long distance relationship" i do no longer care what everyone says, yet you may no longer have a relationship with somebody on line - maximum of it relatively is in the concepts. i might accept as true with a great form of the people right here and say that removing the computer would desire to do extra injury than stable. it would look rational to tread gently with this difficulty till you may get some severe help.

Take him to the emergency room, they have a psychiatrist on call. He/She can give him some antidepresants for now and talk to you abut social services available.
You can afford therapy, you must afford therapy. Many therapists work on a sliding fee scale according to income.
The thing about the emergency room is that you get a social worker who will help you to understand what services are out there.
Get him help - he is your son and he needs your help now more than ever. It is normal for you to be afraid but dont let the fear paralyze you. Take the first step by going to the hospital. The hospital workers will have more compassion than the cops.
Good luck. I will pray.

First question how old is your son? if he's under 18 report the father to child welfare; they can have him (father) locked up. Look for a support group of families of gays (FLAG). Google for some one close to your town.

Hiding sharp objects is not the answer. What your son is pleading for is acceptance. If you take a person who loved him for all his life and all of a sudden that person shows nothing but hate, there is bound to be problems.
First of all, tell your son that you love him no matter what. Then learn to deal with it or shut the hell up. Calling the police will not help because they can't come running for every call they get. The thing here to remember is compassion. Think how you would feel.

Do not and I say do not STOP talking to him. He will eventually start listening to you. Give him positive reinforcement for WHO HE IS! Tell him, that he can not help that his father is jerk, and can't see him for what he is, a wonderful human being with feeling and love.
Most of all you tell him you love him NO MATTER WHAT!
If he has a good friend, talk to him also about the situation your son is in, maybe he can put some sense into him.
Whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE UP!
