I feel so bad for you. I can feel your anger as I am still trying to deal with my own against my husband and his most irresponsible act of all, suicide, just 4 months ago. I also didn't even know who he was anymore, I just knew that this was not the man I had married.

I am a mother and have done my best to protect my children. I know one day that they will have to be held responsible for their own actions. That is called tough love as we can only give advice, but at one point can no longer do it for them.

26 is just so young. I am so sorry you are dealing with this.

(((Spanish Moss))) My dear friend...You know my feelings regarding holding someone hostage to the threat of suicide. You are in the worst kind of double bind because her father and uncle did this and she will hold your feet to that fire cause it works for her. There's also the very real fear that she'll succeed at her next attempt...she's already lost so much. You have given her all and more that a mother can and the greatest gift was life. You can't prevent her from throwing it all away.

I'm praying for you all.

I wish I could do something - I wish I could even say something.
I am praying for you.
