eldest Son to himself (suicide), I felt an extreme amount of guilt for not seeing how much of a dire straits he was in. Also because we were extremely close, we talked about anything and everything too. So, no matter how well you think you know your child (are you really sure about that)? He was so convinced that by doing that, it was what was supposed to happen.
I tried repeatedly to keep him in counseling, by the time; he was a teenager who had strong opinions and reasons why he didn't want to go.
I am hoping that others can and will learn from our errors in judgment and losses due to those mistakes. I feel like we all take something or someone for granted at least once in our lives. But please do not fall victim to the STIGMAS surrounding the neglected topic of suicide. The infamous belief of some parents that think, "That would never happen to me".
If you don't take the time to do and say the things you need and want to... sometimes you lose those chances sooner, than later.
