That's what kept me going. In spite of it all, you never stop being a parent. Professional literature suggests that suicide generally impacts three succeeding generations.

That said, some do it anyway because they think it will finally end the nightmare. Some get so caught up into it that when they get too close to it, it seems to have the same allure of sex. Freud maintained that humans had two major drives: Eros (love/sex) and Thantos (death). After many years of study as well as numerous years of practice, I have concluded that might have been one point the old boy knew what he was talking about.
