re: Why is suicide considered such a bad thing?

Nope, not yet. I had the same thought, but unless he had money stashed away somewhere, he isn't still amongst the living.

With all due respect. To not find a body is a huge red flag. Sounds like he just ran off and started a new life elsewhere. fricked up of him either way.

well considering youre dead, why would you give shite?

This comment goes back to the selfish nature of the act. If you don't are about your friends and family, then that's pretty selfish.


But ultimately, while it IS selfish, the other side of that is people who decide to to that are clearly not acting rationally so it's a mental issue not allowing them to make rational decisions. So while yea, your'e selfish for putting your wife/kids through that, for example, but you also had a mental breakdown to a level where you couldn't make rational decisions.

I’m sure his kids would have fathered him in their lives
I can’t imagine how the kids feel knowing his did this so they have some cash

It's a shitty excuse that IMO makes his note a lot less believable.

You really need to just get the frick out of the US. You seem to be the victim type that would light themselves on fire because life isn’t fair.

I’d never do it because I will be here for my children and family as long as I can breathe.

I live for them. It’s my purpose.

Yes

Uncle is in one and can't speak, walk, basically bed ridden and waiting for death. Others in that place are rolled out in their chairs daily to sit and drool on themselves. Zero dignity living like that.

That does actually make a lot of sense and I don't disagree.

Being a father who lost a child to suicide I can’t even put in to words the devastation it left behind for our family. It has changed me fundamentally as a person. It’s been over two years and I struggle with it daily. It’s worse than any heartbreak I can describe. Never saw it coming either. There is a huge part of me that is just gone. It has impacted my marriage, relationships, my work just to name a few. I’m a 50 YO man and to this day I can’t watch a show with anything bad happening to a child or certain songs with out having to walk away so I don’t break down in front of my two step daughters and my wife. I will say this, you realize really quickly that most of the bullshite that people get worked or pissed off about just doesn’t matter. Things don’t matter. If you have kids don’t ever take for granted that everything is ok with them. Cherish every moment with them even when you annoy them. No parent should ever have to bury a child.

As far as the situation you described I can’t answer that. It’s not the right way to go is all I can say.

I get it but the situations are very different. Someone who is in a dark enough place to end their own life can't possibly be compared with driving while impaired. I also don't buy the OP at all, he was absolutely depressed as hell, one doesn't just kill themself that flippantly.
