Is there ever something that happened to a family member that you will ever know? Has anyone gone missing under mysterious circumstances? Is the place next to your great grandmother’s friend’s dad’s house totally haunted?

    My dad committed suicide when I was 5. I’ll never know why he did it.

      If he had depression there might not have been a reason. It’s not uncommon for men to spend their lives silently fighting with depression, and when I was 5 a man going to a therapist would have been seen as a weakness and weird.

      Remember that depression is a disease, looking for a reason makes as much sense as asking why someone had their heart fail. I recently watched “In Limbo” with my wife and I think they handled it very well (TW: Suicide). When the depression grabs you you’re not able to think clearly or reason your way out of it.

        Never thought I’d see an insensitive comment about one of the most traumatic events in my life.

            You asked for an explaination of why your dad did it.

            They most certainly did not ask for anything.

            Nearly every sentence of this is wrong. Suffering is a part of life, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only part, and it doesn’t mean the “logical” solution is to die. Get real.
