I am having problems telling my children about it. They go to school with the children whose dad did this and they know he "killed himself" as my son has been eaves dropping but they dont know what that means. The family told the children it was suicide and I did not agree as it increases their own risk of self harm. The question is how do I approach this with my children? My son has been giving more hugs than usual and my daughter has been acting up. In the last few days she has become quite violent and does not like us visiting the family's house as she says it makes her sad. My children are 4 and 6. And up to now very sheltered. We all went to the funeral but the kids left early because they became bored. Any light on this particular issue? I also feel quite bad because I never saw it coming and I have a degree in psychology. I actually gave up client contact soem time ago because of this topic.

Someone I know brought up a fascinating thought a while back: Did the tradition of eating meat hot come from a subconscious, primal desire to make it seem as if we had just killed whatever animal it is we eat? It has nothing to do with germs, because this tradition began before even sterilization and bathing was common...

Companies are constantly demanding applicants with "strong" personalities, so if everyone had to develop one in order to get a job, wouldn't the world just become this undynamic, dull place?

We have since divorced and I have remarried, and he has a new partner and baby. When we were newly separated he denied his violence ever occurred, and stormed out of counselling sessions when confronted, shouting that women were ganging up on him.
His violence and controlling behaviour was not just a one-off, it was years of systematic controlling, isolating, bullying and verbal and physical abuse.

Do people turn over a new leaf? He comes across as a nice guy who has been wronged. He is a music teacher, clean-living, no drugs or alcohol, but tends to cut off those who have, in his eyes, 'wronged' him. At times I have wondered if it was either a dream or if I somehow caused his behaviour. I never fought back, tried everything to keep the peace. Happily for me, I have now found a good, honest, happy life.

I'm really worried about his new lady. She's very sweet and I couldn't interfere, but just wonder if people like him really change. Should I be ready to catch her?

Not something like burying a child, did that - horrible, sad, but not a choice.

For example, as a child we were very poor and couldn't afford much. We couldn't even afford the $1.80 beans that had flavoring in them, we had to buy the 56 cent beans with no flavoring. I would sneak down the aisle after mom left it, tear open the "flavored" beans and take the little packet of flavoring out and steal it. I also stole deoderant because the other kids would laugh at how I smelled after PE, though we couldn't afford to buy the deoderant.

Not to be too sad - those experiences made me stronger and appreciative - I worked my way through college and am now a teacher - touching lives along the way...

What actions did you choose to make along your life that you reflect on as really sad? How did it frame your life now?

I'm not trying to scare anybody. I would never commit suicide. I consider myself a very happy individual. I am having some relationship issues. It is basically time to take a deuce or get off the pot if you know what I mean. I am so haunted by the decision that I would sometimes rather die than face it. There is so much pressure mounting on me to pop the question. I know there are a lot of bigger problems out there. When I am in an argument with my girlfriend I imagine the most grotesque death scenarios for myself. You don't want details, trust me. I also recently saw my doctor and I have a mole that he is concerned about. I have a biopsy in two days. I have found myself wishing for melanoma. Then I snap out of it and see how terribly wrong it is to think that. I know if it actually comes to fruition I will be so sorry I wished for it. But nevertheless, these things pop into my head. What is wrong with me and how do I fix it? Preferably on my own.

I consider you and me and the majority of people on this Earth to be 'normal' you know, regular chilled out people going about their everyday lives. I just always imagine him like talking to himself, giggling a lot, laughing all the time... i don't know if the human brain and body and your personality altogether can live a 'regular' normal life when you have so much power and are the ONLY one of its kind. Do you think he's like the all-american dad or do u think he might be like a 4 year old? unaible to contain himself after he's self-made his fortune?!! i'm so curious to see what he's like and how he lives his life with 50 bil sitting in his savings account. You and i are like this and right now if i asked u what would u be like with 50 bil? u'd be like: oh well the same of course, but i don't think so. a million, two, even a hundred is nothing at all. How do u go to sleep at night with soooooo much dough? do u think he can even sleep? he seems normal but i beg to differ...

I am 17 years old. I have not had a girlfriend because my standards are "too high" (I want a girl that has never smoked, drank, or had sex. they also have to be smart and pretty). At this moment, I have no infatuation or that nonsense, but, I have nothing to hold on to. I have a job, and school, and that is it. I'm interested in Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, and especially, The Legend of Zelda. Now this is gonna sound like a stupid teenage loser - but trust me, I'm not really a nerd. I need guidance in life, I need something to live for - and no, I'm nowhere near suicidal. I'm just really bored. Once I finished the new Legend of Zelda game a couple of days ago - I had that empty feeling in my heart, like, what's the point? Get me? I'm not anti-social, but I don't get along with any specific friends. I get along with everyone - I just don't have best friends that I chill with. Any advice I can use to keep my head looking towards the future is helpful. Thanks

I had one recently where an evil spirit in the form of a black cloud was hovering over me. He had a cartoon-like grin and wanted to enter me. Then, as I tried to awaken the cloud turned into my brother, but with the same evil grin. He pulled off my blanket in the dream. I was quite terrorized and I tried very hard to wake up or to scream. Finally, I let out a sound that sounded more like a sheep bleating than a human voice. My husband ran into the room. He touched my face and I was able to wake up. It took me about 15 minutes to calm down. My cat got scared and was jumping up agains the wall.

Originally, we started living in the world (almost all the positive traits), there's love, happiness and the like...

As we grow older, many challenges comes into place: situations we must reach to avoid the failure and to reach the success...

... but at the end of it, there's Death that NO ONE can't avoid (almost all the negative traits), there's loneliness, grief, and the like.

is this the principle of life, we live (to felt the meaning of life) and then we die (sorrow comes into place)?

im not saying this, just want to know your opinion regarding this topic...

note: NO, RELIGION preference, please!
