Post Secret Archive

Wow.. someone who knows what it’s like..

I’ve felt the same way before about my dad.

My mom already did.

And trust me, it’s not any better wondering what you could have done to change things.

Such a sad secret, yet I know how you feel. My mum made several suicide attempts as I was growing up and I don’t know if she ever found true happiness. But as an adult I replaced that same secret wish to making our times together special. She died last year from cancer (not suicide). We became close friends and I miss her but I’m glad she didn’t die by committing suicide.

my dad committed suicide…
we didn’t get along much and I knew his life was going downhill.
don’t wish for this… I know you’ll miss her so much.
try to stop it. I know you can.

I know how u feel I was there,But trust me u wont feel like that when it happens as angry as u will be u will regret that u said that even tho ur right I hope ur mam gets better,

My mum hung herself 3 years ago. The signs were there like they are for you. I didn’t do anything to stop it. You can. Try everything and then try again, tell people who can help her, make somebody listen and take action. Don’t let her throw it away, there is still a person inside her who can be happy. Don’t give up on her like I did even if she seems like a stranger right now. There is hope for everyone, I learned that the hard way.

My mom used to try all they time, I was so afraid I was just in elementary school and kept thinking she would be gone when I got home. She stopped for me, and sometimes I feel like all I do is make her miserable. She is still so unhappy, and I don’t know what to do. But I’d rather her be unhappy and alive.

My step mother abused me mentally and physically from the time I was 6 until I was 13. Over a period of 2 years she attempted suicide 8 times. I knew my Dad loved her so the 1st couple I prayed she would be ok. Then I started to pray that she wouldn’t… She is still alive and I still have nightmares about her.

I wish the same thing about our mother..she “tries” but its to get attention..I told her to just do it properly next time..she did it the week before our wedding and wanted me to pick her up from the hospital while we were having our wedding rehearsal. That day, all my love left for her.

I’m sort of in the reverse situation. The only reason I haven’t done it yet is because of my mum. And she knows how much I want it. I guess reading this has made me realize how scared she must be, when in my head, I know for sure that I won’t as long as she’s loving me. I guess I should tell her

i understand exactly how the person tht sent this in feels and i can feel for the person who posted this comment as well. i went through the same thing. it was and still is painful and sadly, i agree with your last statement… :/

I’m afraid my son will feel this way one day…
