[QUOTE="Star*, post: 291357, member: 4964"] Donna, Your son sounds like a very beautiful person. It's a shame that his father didn't recognize in 24 years what it took the rest of us less than 24 minutes to see in just a blurb of what you wrote of his life. He's a lucky kid to have such a caring Mom who is there for him time and again. I think that means more to him that you'll probably ever know. I remember when you wrote about how devastated he was over his marriage. I thought to myself 'what an awful woman to do such a hateful thing' and then thought later - what a lucky man to be shed of such a hateful and awful woman. It's odd how we don't see the luck in somethings when they are happening - much like this suicide attempt - you think to yourself out loud - HOW in the world could THIS ever be something that is lucky? And I think...maybe if you exhale just enough and have faith in this woman counselor - just maybe she is the person that is supposed to come into his life at this time, and at this place for him. I saw the oddest writing the other day and though - isn't that just the weirdest thing - so I'll share it with you. It said (and not getting all preachy or anything) but it said God puts people in our lives to love us, to teach us, to hate us, to hold us, for short times, for long times, and we never know why...Maybe there is some truth in that for your son? Maybe there's some truth in that for all of us. I just thought it was odd, because you just never think about the people who are in your lives that hate you teaching you a lesson - but then you think - ah...yes - I know how that feels and remember you don't want to do the same to someone else - or you have someone in your life for a short time that loves you and you think - yes....I want to make sure that I love the people around me for as long as I can as much as I can because I never know when they are not going to be there. I lived with someone who was suicidal a lot. Dude recently was at the hospital for saying he wanted to die also. It saddens me and whenever there is a strange number that pops up on the caller ID - I too have those OMG feelings and I try, like you to deal with them the best I can, and like you I can only come here and share it.
