Abusive partner talking about suicide
Ive left an abusive relationship and now he’s talking about his mental health and mentioned suicide but won’t answer his phone anymore. His parents are not interested in going to check on him so I’m racked with guilt in case he really is in crisis but I know he isn’t a safe person for me to visit. I can’t stay home and do nothing but without the support of his parents (who just replied to my calls with a txt saying I should stay home) I feel compelled to go and talk to him. Sending police for a welfare check doesn’t seem like the solution-i think he needs someone who can listen and advise him-he won’t respond to police.

Call 911 and let them handle him. He’s not going to do it
He’s manipulating you. If he’s suicidal he needs professional help not a person.
No walk away. You are no responsible. You have to keep yourself safe and any children you have safe. You can call the cops and do you safety check on him they don’t say who called in. But that is it. Do not feel guilty. You need to break the trauma bond.
He is doing that that for you to feel bad for him and you’re falling for it. Do a welfare check with police and call it a day. If he really wants to off himself then he will and honestly when people say that stuff I just tell them go ahead because I know its ploy to guilt someone.
A boyfriend did this to me when I was 16. I called an ambulance and police to his house and let them deal with his attention seeking ass.
You are not responsible for another person’s actions, so even if he did follow through, it would NOT be on you. He won’t though, it’s just another tactic to keep control of you.
You’ve left him so you’ve already done the hard part. Block him on everything, he is no longer your problem anymore.
My ex did this. He told me he took an overdose and it was my fault for breaking up with him. I just said “that’s on you” and ended the call.
It’s manipulation.
