[QUOTE="Hintzyboy, post: 3214867, member: 566521"] OK, I have a few things to say on this subject. I have thought about it a few times, but never got to the point where I planned anything. I've been through some tiough times recently too. Both of my grandparents passed within the last two years. One from cancer and one from Lou Gherig's. Also, I'm at the point in life where I'm starting to go off on my own and have no idea where my life is headed. It's just been really rocky latley. But I have a great family and good friends. No matter how bad it gets, I know there's a way out. Killing yourself won't solve anything. You just end your life in sadness and anger. To Iceteebone: your friend definitely needs people around her right now. Even if she isn't suicidal, your support can help her make it through this with less damage. Just let her know you're there for her, even if most of your conversation is over the phone. As to your own problems, I'm sorry life has made you so cynical. However, eventually you'll have to learn to trust peopleor you'll end up old and alone. I understand that bad experiences with parents can really screw you up. My dad went through a lot of that as a kid. He never knew his real parents, and was adopted by a couple of alcoholics. My dad got beaten with belts, fishing poles, and any number of things for trivial crap. He got abused while his sister got pampered. One time he was walking to school in a snowstorm with temps at about 10 below. His father drove up, looked at him, and kept on driving. My father experienced a lot of physical and emotional abuse from his parents. But he didn't shut himself off, and now he's done all the things he was told he couldn't. Yeah, he still has issues, but so does everybody else. Bottom line for anyone: There is light at both ends of every tunnel. If you're in the middle you have three options: 1- Keep pushing and get to the end 2- Go back and find a new way(This would be your rock bottom) 3- Give up and stay in the dark [/QUOTE]
