I just wanted to add that my son was in so much emotional pain that he believed that ending it all was the best solution for him. He really believed that in his heart. He just wanted the pain to go away and he didn't know how to make it go away other than ending it all. He felt that was the only solution because he didn't understand what was causing it and he had no control over it. One thing that really opened my eyes to depression was realizing that the things he was doing in his rage, he had no control over his behavior. There were many times I thought I would come home and find him dead. But it was the emotional pain that drove him to find the help that he really needed. He was willing to try anything and he found it in a 12 step group. He has now opened up to me and can talk to me about anything. We have the best father & son relationship I could have ever wished for.
