[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom battled depression her entire adult life and unfortunately when I was 15 committed suicide.  My dad was REALLY shocked and thrown into severe grief that he was not equipped to handle.  One night we were arguing and he said "This is why you mom killed herself, you are so hard to deal with."  Hearing that really was the worst moment of my life.  I was 90 percent sure it was his grief talking but it was still a very intense and awful moment.  I told my aunt the next days whos extreme dismay reinforced to me that it wasn't true and she showed me the love I needed to feel.  In hindsight it was a true blessing because my aunt and uncle demanded my dad get into therapy or we (the kids) would be taken to live with them.  It snapped my Dad out of it and he did get therapy and things did get significantly better from that point on.  But man, I remember that argument so vividly and the feeling in my stomach when he said those words![/quote]

This is so sad to read, and I seriously can empathize. In my case, my mom attempted suicide while I was (as an adult) visiting from out of town. We argued the night before. She was planning on leaving my dad (that was their business, and I was so proud of how well I handled it, but then she claimed she was going to leave it all behind and go live as a Buddhist monk in a monastery. Yes, she had untreated mental health issues.) My dad and I found her the next morning and she was rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, she survived but after a long day at the ER and battling with doctors to have her committed, I came back to their house to find suicide notes left all over the house blaming me for what she thought was going to be her death. It floored me, and still does to some extent. I worked very hard at mending our relationship, and it's a luxury not afforded to you in regards to your mom, and I'm deeply sorry for you for that. I am glad your dad got help, but I totally understand the visceral feeling sometimes in the pit of your stomach when, in my case, I kept finding notes. And another. And another. Man, I gotta stop writing. [/quote]
