Is there anyone out there that had a parent commit suicide, how did this affect your life?

Answer 1

My ex's mom killed herself. She sent all the kids outside (ages were 2, 7, 11, 13) and then she took a gun and shot herself in the head. The 13 y/o (my ex) found her laying across the bed with a hole in her head and blood pouring from it. Needless to say she died in her child's arms. My ex has guilt over it more than anything. She always thought that if she had been a better daughter, fought with her siblings less, did better in school, had checked on her mom that day, it would all be different. She will forever live with guilt and "what if's". Her mom had problems that then became her children's. Anyone who is a parent should think about suicides as emotionally killing their children.

Answer 2

My ex's dad hung himself, he wouldn't answer the phone to us all night, so we went round there in the morning, and couldn't get a reply, so we called the police as he was suffering from depression, and they found him, it messed my ex up big time, he was prescribed sleeping tablets and kept having flashbacks that was 3 years ago, i don't think you ever get over it but time heals a little, you just have to remember the good times

Answer 3

Read about Rhonda Britten- She became an orphan at fourteen, when she was the only witness to her parents' murder-suicide.

this freaking girl is my sister in law, she tried to commit suicide because her boyfriend broke up with her. she put all of his family in chaos, no vary knew what to do, and the only person who help them was me, I did almost the impossible to help them in everything, in the hospital, in the psychiatric and sometimes I couldn't do my own thing because I spend much of my time helping, but that is not what makes me piss, two months later she an her boyfriend got back. when I knew that I started to telling them crap, and all of his family got mad at me and now they say that they don't want to see me never in their freaking lifes, that is bull sh***.
