Life Suicide? - Page 16

Brianfo · 12-19-2011, 09:02 PM

Have you ever contemplated suicide? I have, I think about it everyday. I think my kids and wife would be better off without me. My wife is an absolute angel. She did not deserve to be stuck with me. I know that it's the right thing to do. But it's cowardly. I know for a fact that I am going to hell. I love my kids and wife so much, but I have not been a good father.

Telling someone that was the right thing to do is giving kudos. There is the possibility the outcome of the phone call may not end up as great as one believes. Then again he may laugh at it and say "you dolt's, why to you have to bring the law to my house?"

Then again he may say thank you for concern.

We may never know

There is a difference between saying hey you are the man for doing that and saying you did the right thing WHEN some posts question whether you should call or not at such a late hour.

Whatever I guess. I didn't think it was so much that you needed to make two references to it and I certainly don't think this is worth arguing about either.

Better safe than sorry.

Had an acquaintance post on facebook a few nights ago that his life was over because his baby momma took his kid away from him. He said he was gonna go out with a bang and "look for me on the news". I called his ass up at 1:00 AM. Told him that if he was serious then I would help him find some professional help but if he was just venting that he needed to delete that crap from facebook because all it proved was that the judge made the right decision.

These situations are tough but I'm not going to spectate if somebody needs help. That's definitely not the right thing.

You made your choice. I don't have a real problem with it. There is the possibility that the outcome wasn't rose petals and honey biscuits though.

Suicide is neither selfish or cowardly, if we truly have one control over ourselves it is choosing to live over dying.

I'm not arguing. I'm simply discussing that things aren't always what we assume them to be. Nobody knows this guys intentions. It very well may have opened a whole new set of problems for him. But as previously stated by another poster. That would be all his fault.

I agree it certainly could have. I also agree with you and that poster that it would be his fault.

The thing is, this IS a reach for help. I called the hotline to see what i could do to help. They had no system for message boards.

Agreed. But if you want to off yourself (I know how awful this sounds) don't drag everyone you can down with you.

My buddy Mike blew his head off to let his Mom find him and that poor woman is never, ever going to be the same again after seeing someone she gave birth to with the back of his head missing.

It's the whole making other people suffer that care about you that makes me mad. I know how callous that sounds but at least man up.

Guess I wasn't done with the thread. I'll try to be now.

Sorry I didn't read all the posts. Thanks for doing this Phobia.

Why? Maybe he is a pedophiliac who molests his children, he admits he is going to hell and has not been a good father. Who are we to judge?

Better yet, who are we to jump to those sort of conclusions?
