You never really know what is going through someone's mind. Sorry this happened man.

Don't get me wrong, I can see the argument for "those left behind". But these people obviously don't believe that their friends and family care that much for them in the first place.
I don't know about that, I believe, on face value, it's selfish, even cowardly, and yes, you leave your mess behind for someone else to clean up, literally and figuratively, that plus the grief and pain that your survivors will live with, fricked up situation no matter what

There is your motive. My divorce has been really hard on me. It's made me have thoughts I never have before. But I'm not giving that bitch the satisfaction of seeing me throw in the towel.

The OP stated that this guy was bipolar. Throw your logic and reason out the window. Bipolar brains don't always work like that.

jvilletiger25,
As someone who's been through the Big D, life gets sssooo much better. Yeah, it sucks with the child involved, but everyone's life is so much happier / lighter. Being stuck in a miserable relationship will wear you out..

Yep. Don't see how anyone can judge. Obviously don't think it's the best decision, but there was something eating at a person so deeply that they were willing to do that, maybe you fully don't understand how bad someone could be feeling.
I know I couldn't contemplate it having a family. But if I were to lose my family in some sort of accident (wife and son), I wouldn't doubt the idea would pass through my mind.

Now he's just somebody that you used to know.

How long does that take? It's been almost 2 years for me. It took her all of 6 months to move on. But I guess when you don't actually know what love is, it makes it easier to move on.

Damn, very sorry to hear that.
A close friend of mine's wife just left him a few days ago, I've been checking on him every day and was able to get him out of the house this past weekend to come hang out with our friends. I don't think he has any suicidal thoughts but I know he's really shell-shocked and devastated right now. None of us saw this coming, especially him. I guess you never really know what's going on in someone's head.

True, but bipolarism is one of the hardest to treat successfully. Easy to get the patient on the correct meds, harder than hell to get them to take them correctly unless under constant supervision. And when the meds are slightly off (missing a dose or two) look out.

You've come to the right place for sincere empathy and understanding of your grief, sir. The OT lounge is the best place to post word of tragedy in times like these. Now that you're in the hands of the OT you can finally rest assured that you've begun on the path to true healing. I, for one, am happy you decided to come to us for help in soothing the pain one feels after such a terrible loss. This is necessary......Life feeds on life.

meds don't always work the right way for everyone and take time to get the right meds/dosage right for each case. Sometimes the trial and error of figuring that out takes too long.

Bingo. And due to the fact that the meds suppress the highs and the lows, a lot of patients will not take their meds so they can feel all of those highs.
Of course, they don't get back on for the lows..
Those of you that don't understand, be very thankful for that.
