Cherry. He's gone, but the drama has not

[Cherry]

Guys thank you. Sara, is it normal for them to continue to ignore you? I've sent him a couple of texts (nothing overboard or smothering, just letting him know I am here for him). I did a bit of reading on national suicide charities and NHS advise on helping someone suicidal. The distance of him being physically away makes it harder, especially when he's ignoring. It's his bday tomorrow and he's off work- this is when I fear he would do something, especially with him saying the day he came is the day he goes.

Grl I'm sorry you got to that point, I've had depression myself for a number of years, but for it to get to the extreme that you feel there's is no getting better and that you no longer have the strength to carry on must be awful.

Sara, that is great advise. My strength and calmness has surprised me, I'll continue to stand on the shore throwing the rope. The way I see it is that someone here needs to be strong, level headed, and emotionally stable to help. As well as continuously being strong for S so he doesn't get distressed thinking there's a reason to be worried, I know they pick up on this.
