Man, does he need some better meds!!! HUGS in a SERIOUS way to YOU, because that's just more than really any one person should have to deal with on their own IN PUBLIC.
I have a pretty different view on suicide than maybe most, which is it's that person's choice. It's their life; it's their body and soul. BUT if someone is making that choice when there are other clearer, better options that they can't see because of being whacked out, for whatever reason, then, well, it's not really a choice made with the consent of one's deepest self. It sucks beyond belief that YOU have to decide whether or not to tell someone. It sucks, sucks, sucks. But he hasn't really given you much of a choice. You have to do what will ease your own heart. AND VENT HERE ANY TIME!!!
I'm glad you're skipping out to Panera. I'm glad you're looking out for your own sanity.
Yeah. I agree with the whole 'it's their choice' thing, and if I thought my uncle was in anything resembling a good frame of mind, I'd think over his rationale more seriously. But he's kind of really depressed.
I headed home from the Panera. Too worried about him. But I'm camped out on the couch with Doctor Who and various Five Acts lists, so hopefully that'll help!
OMG, how stressful. I agree, that's way more than anyone should have to deal with by themselves, and in public no less. {{{{HUGS}}}} What a way to start off your summer vacation. And I understand the hysterical laughter. I have that reaction to some of the bugs**t crazy stuff that goes on in parts of my family. I should tell you about my brother some time - a lot of what you just wrote sounds eerily familiar. Hang in there!
......and I thought my sexist, babbling, exaggerating jackass of an uncle was bad. D:
That is just scary. I have a close family member who sometimes says crazy shit like this and I can never tell whether it's simply them acting out/they're serious. You're doing the right thing by telling your mother.
Oh gorgeous. That's one hell of a way to start your vacation. I can't even imagine how I would have reacted or how I would have handled it. I probably would have lost it a little myself.
***HUGS*** If there's anything you need, don't hesitate. We all love you so much.

The hysterical laughter's a weird reaction - but it comes from an honest, caring place!
