    When it rains, it f'n POURS!!!!!!

    Lord give me strength!!

    Yesterday afternoon, my step daughter's Mom (L) tried to commit suicide
    by taking a blade across her throat. I found out late last night the details.
    She sent an email to her friend..suicide note, and her friend got it
    in time, and sent 'L' to the hospital. After a few hours surgery
    she is now recouping and is staying there as a routine step
    in suicide attempts.

    What is just killing me is if friend had not received it in time, my
    s-daughter (A) would have been the one who found her. Friend
    cleaned up mess, but missed some.My boyfriend, stayed with A at exwife's
    home, and ended up telling her what happened this morn in fear she would
    hear about commotion at school from neighbourhood kids.

    I have zero experience with suicide...no one close to me ever attempted
    or succeeded. Right now I live 3 hours away from A..how can I help my
    girl, she is just 13 and we are so close. Upon hearing the news she of course
    blamed herself, then got angry wondering how her Mom could do this to her and
    her sister and little brother. My boyfriend knew this would happen and was prepared with
    great words of wisdom and comfort for her. She decided to go to school so she could be
    with her best friend.

    I am soo very angry at L. it's hard for me to think straight.
    My heart is simply breaking for the kids...especially A.
    Any thoughts would be so appreciated, and suggestions..anything. I am seeing
    her this weekend.
    Thanks.

    Dry,
    I am praying for you and yours. By being there for her and all involved is certainly a great and supportive choice. One thing for the mother to consider that has always stayed with me is: "what would those left behind be thinking if you were actually gone?" This has helped me get thru many days when I felt helpless. We have others to think about even in our worst state. Stay Strong!!

      Thank you, we need it.

      In my deepest darkest times struggling with alcohol those thoughts certainly crossed my mind which is one of the reasons why I am here and healthy today. Thoughts though of what I would do to my boys/Dad/friends, everyone- stopped the action quickly. I'm just soo angry and tearful right now OMG!!

      Also, I understand this is an alcohol forum...am questioning if I should have posted this now here.

          Doesn't matter to me where it's posted as it all can be connected somehow. Feel free to PM if you'd rather. Try to take care of yourself in this difficult time. A clean mind does wonders.

              Thought I'd do a quick update...

              The Mom is staying in the hospital for another week of observation/councilling. Her problems run deeper than her family knew.
              My s-daughter A will be now living with my boyfriend, her Dad, from now on. The little boy will be living with his Dad. A is doing really quite remarkable. I've been on msn each night with a cam so we can talk together.
              Tomorrow we can all be together for a couple days. Looking forward to it!!

              Thank you for helping me through this very frightening time.
