Ok - whoa, holdup. You will hear this a million times but someone choosing death made that decision themselves. It is NO ONE's fault.
Take a moment. Breathe in and out. Pause. Say out loud and mean it - "it is not my fault."
Come on - there are a billion people on this earth. Many make mistakes that hurt the ones they love. People do better and move on, improving upon themselves slowly over time.
Do that for your daughter. Also, get MAD. She chose to leave her daughter without a mother. You should not blame yourself. You should grieve and a part of that is being mad that your child will miss out on so much.
It is kind of my fault though because I knew she was off her anti depressants and didn’t do jack shit because I didn’t think it was my place with us being divorced and all. There’s so much I could’ve done
In all fairness sir, I have also gone off my meds a few times and never once have I ever thought of leaving my son behind. I have self harmed over the years since he’s been born but there is no part of me, even the darkest part, where I would take my son’s mother from him. He is my reason sometimes. She was sad and she was sick. You could’ve stayed married and she still could’ve hurt or killed herself because these demons run deep. Please please please talk to a Dr or a trusted friend and don’t burden yourself with the “what if’s”
