    My step dad committed suicide after losing our rent money at the video poker machine at the bar.

    It had such a big impact on our family that four years later my mom did too after struggling with depression over it.

        Thank you, it’s been five years since the loss of my mom. You never get over it, just better at dealing with it. I was never close to my step-dad.
