You’re absolutely right. Suicide is never the best option. Apart from anything else, when the affected child does eventually come to their senses, even if it takes 20 years, they’ll have their parent’s suicide on their conscience. Maybe parents need self help groups along the lines of Al Anon?
Exactly. It’s a real sanity saver for a lot of people, even if they just cherry pick out all the good bits and ignore the references to a higher power, which a lot of people don’t relate to. There’s a lot to be said for the philosophy you summed up so succinctly above. And also for group support. Seeing other people in the same situation through no fault of their own helps people realise they’re not at fault either.
Thanks for sharing, Coastal Elite. Wise words.
