The girl was threatening to run away, even to kill herself! Obviously, this girl was struggling with her father’s absence, but there were other issues at work as well. It’s never normal for an eleven year old to threaten suicide , even in a fit of anger. I encouraged the mother to get professional help – and get it fast! Kids aren’t equipped to deal with difficult life issues the way that adults are, and it’s our job to watch for signs of emotional problems.
