HBO Poll: Suicide

After reading that a good friend of my family had committed suicide over the weekend, Escapee commented: “My Dad committed suicide 8 years ago, and I still don’t know what to feel about that. We weren’t close. Sometimes I wonder if the way I turned out had anything to do with it. He once told me, “I don’t want to live a single day without your mother”; after she passed away he made it another 60 days and then, well …And life goes on. I’ve thought about suicide; I think everyone thinks about it at one time or another. And in the end, no, I’m not gonna give in.
