My 14 year old son is addicted to video games, and threatens to kill himself when he doesn't get things his way

My son is addicted to video games to the point where it's affecting his studies and having a negative impact on the whole family. His grades are declining, and his behaviour is growing worse. If we turn off the Wi-Fi in an attempt to seize his playing, he throws a fit. He screams and yells at us, saying terrible things like that he might as well be dead. He threatens to take his own life whenever he doesn't get something his way, which makes disciplining him seem hopeless and terrifying. On two separate occasions he has called his friends saying he intends to kill himself. Both times, his friends have alerted authorities, and he has been taken to an adolescent psychiatric treatment center. The first time he stayed for 3 days, and the second time it was an overnight stay. We've taken him to 2 therapists, but he claims he's gaining nothing from it, and the advice we are receiving from the therapists is to limit his video game playing. How do we go about doing this while still making sure he won't harm himself as a result?Has anyone dealt with something like this before?Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Q0s7hc
