I'm a survivor of my own attempt 10 years ago. Wow...can't believe it has been 10 years now!

Yesterday my Aunt was talking to my 8 year old son and says to him when he asks why some people commit suicide, "well it is VERY selfish and they are only thinking of themselves." Nice. So guess that when or if he finds out about me when he is an adult he'll know how my family felt, yeah?

She is well aware of my attempt. We have never spoken of it. Why would she say that in such a nasty mean tone? I have done nothing but try to redeem myself since then and have been grateful for a second chance for over 8 years now.

I just basically ignored what she said and explained to him my thoughts and I hope my words meant much more than hers.

Glad to have found this forum...should I mention I am new? Ha!
