hard decisionDr. Scrwartz i just recently broke up with my girl friend of a year. it has been a pretty unstable realationship an has just deteriated. When i told her it was over she threated to kill her self an would just start screaming. Due to fear i agreed to get back with her an she continues to do the same old things that caused me to leave her, this time around she no longer lives with me an is now threating ti kill her self again. she doesnt see what she is doin an will not accept the ntion that hse needs help. we are only 18 an she comes from a very rocky backround her dad disowned her because of her stepmoms brainwashing, her mom is a total bum an lives in montana off of her boyfriend. I am basicly all she has an no longer wish to be with her like that. i would love to help her but if im not with her she will kill her self or so she says. i want so bad to have her commited but seein as she has no insurance or my self it cant not happen. support groups would be nice but she wont go claiming that she doesnt need that. that all she needs is me. im honestly afraid of the girl at this point. what can i do to help her?
