>Actually, with all due respect, I wasn't being sarcastic or treating death lightly at all. Wouldn't the person who says "I think I'll threaten suicide if he tries to terminate me" be taking death lightly? Suicide is a serious thing. Maybe it's just a major gripe of mine when someone threatens it in a manipulative way. I already lost a friend that way. I hate the term being used so loosely.
My post was not snarky at all. In fact, I encouraged the poster to talk to her therapist. I even said *feeling suicidal might even be normal. But to threaten suicide as a plan if you don't get your way is a little ridiculous if you really think about it.
