    Wow, the end of that article is really rough. The ladies son killed himself right infront of her. I just can’t even imagine doing that to my mom no matter how angry I was. The only reason I’m alive right now is I OD off the massive amounts of drugs I’d taken while trying to work up the courage to pull the trigger and it ended up saving me. Yet before that point I took so many precautions to ensure that if anyone found me it sure as hell wouldn’t have been a family member. I completely understand how hard it can be with strong suicidal tendencies to think straight or make good decisions, but to carry it out right in front of your mom while she’s begging you not to it’s just… Wow.
