Genetics is an interesting topic...some yrs ago one of our daughters was ask to participate in a study at Indiana Univ. about the relationship between bipolar and alcoholism...she opted out of it, I don't remember why.
I am waiting the arrival of a book I ordered from Amazon...Blue Genes by Christopher Lucas. I heard him interviewed on NPR a couple of weeks ago..this is his second book about suicide...his mother died by her own hands and this was hidden from his family. While writing this new book, his brother, a famous writer..also commited suicide and Lucas said, on air..that he'd never forgive him.
Mistiis I thank you for sharing that and especially for getting up and finishing the shower. You are here for a reason and I thank God for you.
I will never kill myself...I will never put my family through that kind of pain...we've been there and done that with our Michael.
I admit that I wish my life were over...but it will never be of my own doing.
Hugs for the room.
