Suicide

My 2 sons that are 4 and 6years old, their father hung himself last month and it was a complete shock to everyone. He went to work that day, took our 2 sons to counseling that afternoon, dropped our sons off at his sisters and went and hung himself in his mother's basement while she was on vacation. There was no note, no warning, no signs he was so destroyed inside. What could possibly drive someone who has everything going for them to just snap inside and kill themself in such a violent way?

I'm curious, were you still together? I think it's sad that someone with kids that young would do that, it'll forever play a major role in their life and the way they live it. Possibly depression that no one knew he had. there are people that are depressed and don't know it. Maybe he had done something in his life that he couldn't forgive himself for. Has anyone had a discussion with the boys or the sister about the last conversation he had with them? I'm sorry for your loss and all that you will have to go through with your boys.

We had not been together for almost 4 years since our youngest son was born. He had told the boys he would pick them up tomorrow when he dropped them off at his sisters that evening and never came back.

Hello, Sorry to hear all this bad news. I hope you could take it and everything is alright with everyone there. Sometimes, he had no where to turn and too much things were going with him. That's why we need someone to talk to and get through this thing together... he might had something that can't even tell or something. It is totally hard for the kids, and what did you tell them at first? I went through many things and believe me, you can't handle what I went through but Im not saying only me that can do it! ... it is just take a lot of patient and time. If someone else that went through what I am dealing, im sure them will be taking depression pill by now... however, I dont take anything and I never think of killing myself either because I have people to responsible for. If I go like this, what about them? Each one of us have to think deeply and if they dont know where to turn then talk to someone.

That's a really sad story. :( Maybe he wasn't happy with his life or something happened that no one knows but him. Does he live alone besides his two kids?

It is hard to understand what had happened to you to a Chinese ,but I think it is a pity for you especially for your sons you must look after them.They are poor boys.Maybe too much pressures got to him.

Probably he couldn't survive with out you, not that i blame you or anything. i believe not all men can simply move one after a break up like that. maybe he's good at pretending that he's ok. but some where a long the middle, he's in need or troubled and can't simply share it with the kids. Men, aren't really that strong every day...or maybe it was a foul play, who knows....
