Saffie, I read the book by Dr. James Dobson "Love Must Be Tough" and it talked about suicidal thoughts in the LBS. He intereviewed a panel of 5 people from all different walks of life. He asked them if any of them had suicidal thoughts. Most, if not all, did.
I know I went through a period of not really having the nerve to do anything to myself because of my children and my religious beliefs, but wishing I could die. The betrayal hurts you beyond belief. You feel humiliated and worthless. Above all else we have to put our children first. They did not ask for all of the hurt they also experience during all of this. They do not need the further grief of suicide.
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. -- Bernice Johnson Reagon
