Talk about a Manic Monday!
I got to work this morning and learned that one of my closest friends attempted suicide last night!
At first I was just shocked and upset…then I got mad at him. 
I know what drove him over the edge…his wife, who he is currently separated from for this very reason…they just can’t get along! He’s usually a very laid back guy…but she pushes his buttons like no other I’ve ever seen before! 
She uses their boys to do it…but still, I don’t understand how he could even entertain the thought of suicide. 
I mean, he’s got two beautiful little boys and his parents have already lost one of their sons…he’s all they have left now. 
That’s the part that pisses me off…suicide it such a selfish decision!
I talked to his mom…she and her husband were (for obvious reasons) upset about it all and very concerned about, not only their son, but their grandsons as well.
I’m glad that he’s OK right now and being watched (he’s in protective custody) and hopefully the State will force him to get the help that he needs. Unfortunately…he’s now lost any chance that he had at getting custody of his kids and they deserve better.
What a fucked up situation.
Here I am doing everything I can so that I can live…and he’s blowing off his life as if it’s worth nothing. I just don’t get it.

I don’t get it either. But I know that you’re a good friend, not like some.
Yeah, I always say that suicide is so selfish, I could never do that to my family. People probably get mad though because i’m not being sympathetic, but still I just coudln’t do taht to myf amily and friends
I think some ppl get tired of pain and hurt and that those block out other things that are positive or worth living for. I don’t know if it’s a matter of entertaining thoughts as much as sometimes some dark things just hover around you and seem to just torment you for the hell of it.
sweet jesus
did you say fucked up
why have I not seen that before o-0
lol
and that is selfish , I would have told I would kill him for free if he wanted to did w/o sin for crying outloud … ~hugs~
I think people who a depressed enough to kill themselves honestly believe the world would be better off without them. Their thoughts are distorted. We can’t or relate to that level of pain (otherwise we’d be trying to kill ourselves too) so we’ll never really be able to understand them either. Just love him unconditionally because we know the Bible says “love never fails”. That’s what friends are for.
