I suspected as much, Susan.
If anyone hurts him/herself, it's that person's responsibility, not mine.
Over the years, several friends have chosen to take their own lives. One's psychiatrist even said to me that if I hadn't left him, an ex-boyfriend of mine would still be alive! I was only 23 years old. I knew better though, knew it was bullshit and that beneath her anger at me was her own sense of failure.
This is interesting though. I understand that people want to talk about feeling suicidal, and this is a good place to do it. When we have these feelings, it can really help to talk about them, not stay in our own heads. And friends and family completely freak at the mention.
So I think it's good that we can talk about it here, to think it through, to see what others have to say about it.
I would like to think I could talk about these feelings here without people panicking. I think I'll start a thread on this suubject.
