I'm just saying... was this intended to be helpful? Berating a suicidal woman? |
I've thought about suicide at various points in my life when I've gone through periods of depression. Recently I was depressed again but this time, I have a son and my very second thought after ending my life is that is just no longer an option for me. I brought my son into this world and it's my responsibility to do everything I can to make sure he grows up with a mother. I couldn't do that to him and I couldn't leave the responsibility of raising him alone to my husband. There would be no act more selfish than that. Please get help if you are having these thoughts. Suicide is not the answer - especially if you have a child(ren) who you will devastate. |
People who hint about it want and need help. Or, as PP said, they would just do it. |
Reassuring to read these posts. I feel the same way. |
Actually, most suicidal people really don't want to kill themselves, they just want to end their pain. Most people who kill themselves tell people that they are going to do it before they do. They do want help, just don't know how to ask for it. http://www.helpguide.org/mental/suicide_prevention.htm http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/index.html |
Me too. I had been estranged from mine for years. For the sake of family unity tried to reestablish a relationship with her once I had a family. She tried buying my children's love but was unable to completely hide her nastiness for long behind all the presents. Neither of my children like her very much. She keeps talking about how she will be around to see the great-grandkids. Whenever I see her face or hear her voice I feel sick inside. We could always move out of the area. |
I hate mine too! I never use the word HATE, but with her, it comes flying out of my mouth. I keep this from my husband, the hate that is, but he understands why I get frustrated with her. I can hardly be in the same room with her. She's been in another state for 9 months, and I wished she'd stay-I don't like her around my son. We never ask her to babysit, thankfully! She's a sponge. |
My husband and I aren't married-everyone thinks we are but we never got around to it. I changed my last name so that my son wouldn't ask questions. We're happy as can be and don't care about marriage. We both had bad first marriages and felt it wasn't necessary and why screw things up. |
I think I worked for you awhile back-any chance you might rethink writing that reference letter you talked about? |
Nope don't think so, I've never had an employee. |
I know first hand that there is no patient confidentiality in dr's affiliated with Sibley. They share confidential information with spouses. They also share professionally obtained information with colleagues who may know a patient socially. |
Yup, they are only human, just like most of us. |
I don't think it matters much which hospital they work at. |
I agree. I hate those freakish sorority sister-type barbie moms that drives a big SUV. They do nothing but parade around town and school and really have nothing else going on in their lives. |
