((mistiis)) Your posts are always so moving It is amazing isn't it? How in your opening up, you give another the strength to do so too. I am so glad your son felt safe enough to open up to you. Yes Ma'am that IS suicide prevention at its best!

I know that dark place all to well mistiis... it feeds on silence. My Dad, he was a silent suffer, I am determined I won't be! I will not sit back and quietly go down without a fight. Being here amongst you all, has been a huge life line for me. I understand exactly what you are saying in that. But, know too ((mistiis)) as much as people help you, YOU also help them. You have helped me hang on a number of times Through our sharing, we help each other. When one of us can't find our way out of that darkness, someone here, reaches out a guiding hand. Breaking the silence.... that is what we are doing, and it is amazing! Keep sharing ((mistiis)) Much love
