[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because no child needs to hear the graphic details of his mother's decision to take her own life and the gruesome hospitalization that followed! Maybe when they're adults or close to it, but we're talking all kids 12 and under.

Can you imagine what happens when some classmate hears about this from his/her mother and then 20 minutes later the whole school knows that so-and-so's mom hated life so much that she tried to kill herself right after her child's birthday party?

It's bad enough that she put the children through all this in the first place, but to air everything publicly in a way that exposes all of them to taunting and bullying -- just so lots of people can write lovey-dovey comments -- is gross and selfish and tacky.[/quote]

Your boys might not care about a blog written by their friend's parent.  But they would care to read a blog about your suicide attempt. 
She's a writer, and a good one, and she's certainly not glamorizing anything. Kids don't care about what other kids' parents do or think or their mental health. I have boys her sons' ages and there is nothing they care about less than gossip about the moms. My kids barely know who any of their friends' parents are unless they are particularly close.[/quote][/quote]
