my father died earlier this year. i barely knew him. i was told that desert storm changed him. he suffered. as a father he was distant, erratic, negative and verbally abusive. i spent much of my childhood and adolescence blaming myself for his disapproval. i couldn't know the pain inside his mind. he taught me i'm worthless.
my mother passed away 2 years ago. my best friend. i confided my depression and suicidal thoughts to her. she was the only person who could consistently keep me alive. the last 3 years of her life was hell. holding her hand throughout the night while she fought to breathe was heart breaking. i wish we had euthanasia rights in NY State. she taught me how to remain calm and encouraged me to fight against the darkness. i'll see her soon.

@tenente that is a heart warming post and I hate to come in sideways on you, but you said two things that spoked me: suicide and see her again soon.
can you find a way to get help for your depression please. dont have to reply on here or talk about it at all but that is scary post to read.
