I'm curious to know your discussions with you...Hi. I'm curious to know your discussions with your father about writing so honestly about your experiences related his suicide attempts. I ask because my sister tried to kill herself and I found her. She was my best friend, we've since grown apart a bit, however, and we share many friends. The first six months or so, she asked me to keep the attempt a secret, which I did, but found very painful, while totally understandable. I felt like I couldn't be sad on the outside. What kind of discussions did you have with your dad about your blog in terms of his suicide attempts?<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-44739187444146220352007-10-11T23:50:00.000-04:002007-10-11T23:50:00.000-04:00Jenn - Thank you!

Do they all end like this? (my first real relationship) I just have a bitter view on things now.

There were times as I read this that I thought you were writing my own story instead of yours. I guess we all have some heartache stories. Yours seems to have a bad one. <BR/><BR/>I don't mean to sound demeaning, but I know how you feel somewhat. I remember that girl who absolutely loved me so much she could never trust me again. I remember how the pain that wracked my heart felt as if it would squeeze the life out of it one drop of blood at a time. I too do not recall the day I stopped crying over her, but it was a long time. I woke one day and realized I had not thought of her in a few days - an occurance I thought would never happen.<BR/><BR/>I am glad you are well today. I hope you remain so.twobuyfourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195751674340015830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-58453929907263254632007-10-11T16:13:00.000-04:002007-10-11T16:13:00.000-04:00OMG, do I love this post.
