My 15yo son was feeling suicidal on Thursday so we went to the ER. He stayed there from Thursday afternoon to yesterday afternoon. My husband and I took turns staying with him the entire time. 

Yesterday he was moved to EMH (emergency mental health), still at the hospital but in a different area. His depression has him sleeping almost all day long. My husband stayed with him all day and I took the night. The nursing staff didn’t know what to do with me because “parents never stay”.  

I feel wrong just thinking about leaving him to do this alone. This is all new to us. What do we do?
