I can say I feel like a failure.
I wanted to be there for him and now he’s on suicide watch, I don’t have a lot of information right now but part of me thinks I could’ve done more.
There is a chance I could visit him Saturday with my boyfriend if he isn’t out by then, I’m not too sure what I’m allowed to bring though.
my mom suggests food, I was thinking of either that or a stuffed animal for him.
All this assuming my boyfriend would want to visit and that he’ll be allowed visitors that aren’t immediate family.
I hate that I’m stuck in my own head about what I could’ve done, it feels selfish to only relate it back to me in the end.
My boyfriend is currently doing after school band stuff that he can't miss so I haven’t gotten any updates, its been keeping me on edge for the better part of two hours.
I have some concerns specifically about his boyfriend, I haven’t heard Al mention him a lot and when I asked he was kind of upset about something involving that.
Coupled with his ambiguous feelings toward my boyfriend and how he talks about our relationship, I’d say it’s been at least a minor stressor to him when we’ve been hanging out.
I did also overhear how his father talked about discipline in their household because he perceives ale as out of control and a problem child.
He mentioned bring corporate punishment back into play, showing both that Al has been hit before, most likely spanked, and that it’s almost definitely happening now.
There was mention of fighting between Al's mom and dad over punishments and his mother being too lenient with Al.
His parents on going arguments haven’t been helping and Sunday when we were together al slipped into the conversation a few times that his dad hits him.
I partially ignored it because I didn’t think it was a conversation to have in a public area but maybe I should’ve said something to him, made him elaborate for me.
Al already has problems with self image because of his weight and the teasing he receives from almost everyone around him.
My boyfriend has seemed hesitant to have any other connections with Al outside purely friendship, which he has a prude idea of.
He refuses to add Al on for cuddling most times and won’t hesitate to call him names, I know that he didn’t mean anything by it for the most part but it defiantly hasn’t helped the overall situation any.
I don’t put any blame on Al, myself, or my boyfriend, but that being said doesn’t automatically mean we didn’t contribute to this at all.
More than anything I’m worried what’ll be done from here, especially in Al’s own home.

ReplyBe supportive of them living. Show them you care and definitely listen to your mom. If you know their favorite snack they might like or whatever that and a stuffed animal. Stuff in their home is something you have no control over. Though you should let them know any time they need to talk that you're there like they can text/call anytime.
