[QUOTE="slsh, post: 685706, member: 8"] Tired, I'm so relieved mother relented and will include your son. I hope that it will help him find his peace ultimately. I used to think suicide was a reasonable option, that by my choosing to wake up, I would still at least have control over that, if nothing else. But suicide leaves behind nothing but scorched earth and limitless guilt for the survivors. The self-doubt - how could we all have missed it? We could have prevented it if we'd known, and how could we have not known? What I finally told my son was that this was B's choice. It seriously sucks, but it was her choice to make. It was NOT his fault, or because he did or didn't X, Y, or Z. It wasn't because she didn't love him, or did love him. It is just one of those things that we are never going to get a meaningful answer for, because there is absolutely no answer that will make this make sense. Take care of yourself, Tired, and please remind your son to take care of himself too. Simple stuff like remembering to eat.... Gentle hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
