My stepdad, who has been my dad since i was 4 just killed himself May 8 of this year. He had a brain injury and my mom and him were actually in the midst of a divorce because the brain injury got really severe to where he actually hit my mom and he would have NEVER done that. He made sure that when he decided to kill himself he was for sure because he took an entire bottle of pills, slit his wrist and put a gun to his head! I wanna be mad at him and used to always think that suicide was the easy way out of life but by his letter and voicemail he left my mom i truly feel he was so much not himself and everything was so clear in his mind that he really felt that he was doing this for all of us kids and mom so as not to hurt us. This is actually also my 3rd suicide in 6 yrs. I just don't know right now...This year has been really really difficult for me :(

" I am so sorry that you have had to experience so many suicides. I can only imagine how difficult that must be for you.

I think you are right, I don't think that they are themselves when they make this decision and carry it out. It was so outside of my husband's personality. Something so mind boggling happened to him that day. I still don't understand it.

Although I have had so many questions about how he could have done this to me, I do believe that if he could take it back and come back to me that he would. Something just took him over that day, and it wasn't him making that choice.

I wish you peace and comfort as you work through this terrible tragedy. "
