Long story short, my ex boyfriends family took me in and has become my family. I've known my ex(N) for 5 years. Dated for 3 years and have been on rocky terms for the past 2 years. We had a really toxic relationship, he was unmedicated and has bipolar disorder. He's 24 and still lives in the room he had as a baby....basically man child He's not the greatest person but his mom and I are really close so I try to be friends with him for her sake.

For background I survived 2 suicide attempts and have a past history of self harm(clean for 3 or 4 years now) N is well aware of this and was around when I was still self harming.

N and I were texting and he twisted my words and got shitty with me, then called me to yell at me. I told him previously he had one last shot at being my friend and I won't tolerate being talked to like that anymore (yay for learning boundaries) so I reminded him of that conversation and to please stop getting loud. Basically that didn't go to well, after a while of him degrading and yelling at me I did yell back and in the end told him I'm done and he made his choice. I thought that was the end....

Then I get a text "I’m tired of escalating self harm because people like you can’t be bothered.

I am not going to disrespect myself in order to respect you.

I am not going to go from punching myself in the head after this car accident to pulling a knife on myself; and thinking of hanging my self in the back yard

YOU ARENT WORTH IT! YOU HAVE TAKEN ENOUGH FROM ME!!!"

Then a picture of a knife

Then another text

"I’m sick. I’m tired. Just leave me alone"

I immediately sent them to his mom and didn't respond to him. His mom wasn't home so I called the local police for his area and requested a wellness check. I told his parents that I did that, mom said she's upset with me. Dad was annoyed but is more upset because mom is upset and N is a shitshow and stressful. But I dont regret it. I dont know if they will talk to me again, I'm referred to as their adopted son... I don't know where I stand anymore. But I wish someone sent a wellness check for me, instead I spent 3 months in a psych ward and have an arm full of scars. I wish someone sent a wellness check for me but instead I spent 5 days on a ventilator.

So yeah, I called the police on my ex boyfriend because I give a shit about him. And I dont regret the call
