You know, I would like to share something my Mother once said to me. “You know, you are only hurting yourself. If you want to kill yourself, just do it. Eventually we will get over it. It would almost be better if you did, so I would not have to waste all this time worrying about you.” Then I went to my physical theropists office and asked them why they were sending my bill to my parents. I did a lot of changing after that. I stopped making appointments to get my back adjusted at their office. I also changed the setting on my answering machine, so it would hang-up after five minutes. The phrase above are just the first part of a very long half hour. Reflecting back, I think we are both happy that I was not really seeing someone about suicidal thoughts at the time.

I have two boys and I cannot imagine EVER saying something so cruel to my child! Some women do not appreciate the greatest gifts they will ever receive.I am sorry for you my freind.

ouch. I am with Anne, I could NEVER say that to my child…for that matter, I can only think of about 3-4 people I WOULD say that too…And I know none of them personally (i.e, Reagan, Nooooot).
A long time ago my sisters ex boyfriend told her “that if she left him he would shoot himself.”
My sister being upset told him “if you are going to shoot yourself make sure that you put the barrel in your mouth, that way you might still be able to have a open casket.” He shot himself later that week.
I just wanted to say I’m sorry for you having to go throught that. It must have been hard to cope with. My mother has never said anything quite that harsh to me and I think if she did I would slap the shit out of her. My mother has somewhat of a similiar outlook on life. She is very religous and doesn’t understand why I choose to express myself the way I do (i.e piercings, dying my hair strange and morbid colors, the way I dress). Add to that the fact that I am bisexual. I think she asks herself every day where did she go wrong in raising me and no matter how much I tell her this is the happiest I have ever been, she doesn’t believe me. Anyway, enough about me. I just wanted to say I’m sorry and offer my support if needed.
It is not about suicide. It is about misunderstandings. If you read the whole thing, I was seening someone about my back.
