or

b) it is now up to you to decide on what to do/what decision to take
mother: Angela, why are you doing drugs? I now give you choices: either you leave your current boyfriend Brandon and stop with your drugs, or you can leave this house and move in with him; in which case I will want to have nothing to do with your life. The ball is in your court.

Angela: I would like to commit suicide.

mother: that's not an option. i am taking you right now for a psyche eval.
