… and … on the other hand, actually going through with it, is about the biggest “f**k you” that can be given to a family.
This is something that I have had personal experience with, in family, friends, acquaintances, and even enemies, that I wished dead, then was not so thrilled, when my wish came true.
I hang out in circles that experience a lot of … “out of band” … issues. It’s a long story, and not one I feel like sharing on HN. Suffice it to say that I have seen this kind of stuff many, many times.
Getting treatment for mental health issues —and there are very many types of issues, and types of treatments— is important. One way to support people going through this stuff, is to avoid feeding the “shame machine,” and try to realize that we may not have the answers, so we can help people connect with those who do.
