I hear you Link. Thanks for explaining further.
I had a grandmother who would 'let' her children find her mid-act. They then were responsible for her rescue. As a child I didn't know this. I did dislike her intensely, and my mother, her daughter was a troubled, sad woman who never behaved that way with her children. My
grandmother burnt everyone around her. To this day I have yet to feel any true compassion for her, though I imagine her pain was enormous.Then, on my husband's side, are the men with guns who disappear into a room or basement while alone and that's that.
Determination and/or drama
surrounding suicide aren't gender-specific, though stereotyped, I suppose.I don't know who was burned worse. I suppose, well yes, my mother for living
with someone who dramatized her suicidal feelings and relied on others so
heavily in her scripting.Then again, for the spouses and children
left dealing with blood and not a word of understanding from which to go
forward....Being human is quite a task. I don't know how we do it.
