I have never really read a suicide note before, but if this doesn't paint a picture of what some people go through I don't know what does. I don't know how anybody like this can be helped.

That's fucking sad.

Sometimes i feel like i might be over stepping boundaries when talking with friends, but stories like this are why i usually press.

childhood abuse is the most devastating thing possible. almost nobody is able to recover and live a normal life after something like that happens to them. its just too damaging.

suicide is never the answer tho..

seemed like a thought out and smart decision in this case. he said he couldn't live one day without the reminder and pain of his abuse, and was worried that he would hurt or kill someone eventually. i don't see what is wrong with suicide there.. seems like a responsible decision.

so sad

Why the hell didn't he tell us who raped him? It doesn't seem like it was his dad.

I think its good that people kill themselves in peace. It is much better than the assholes who go out and (mass) murder suicide.

Thanks Bill for being a man and doing what is right in your circumstances.

You should teach coping strategies.

crazy we have monsters in our world with the ability to destroy ones life before it begins.
very sad , alot of what was written is spot on, he had a miserable existence and could never speak with anyone in regards to it.
accurate about doctors and surgeons/ etc bringing home war tales about there days,
he had only one way out , i think everyone one of us would have murdered the person then taken our own life.

it can be. you find somebody that is accepting, and get yourself in therapy to help you cope with it. you probably won't ever be normal, but you also may not have to kill yourself.

just so sad, suicide has really never been justified in my eyes until now. wtf else could he have done

i hope the rapist gets/got what they deserved

wasnt saying, why didnt he just tell someone, but just noting that if he could have just found a way to make that leap, im sure it wouldnt have been as bad as he thought.

i think it is important for people to be reminded that nobody is normal and so much effort/stress goes into people trying to appear normal.

I agree with this. I mean obviously he could have told someone and nothing would have changed but if he was going to tell the world anyways in this letter what harm would it have been to try and talk to someone before the suicide was necessary. If nothing changed he could always go the same route he chose. Very sad and this quote is disturbing:

"I'd also like to address my family, if you can call them that. I despise everything they stand for and I truly hate them, in a non-emotional, dispassionate and what I believe is a healthy way. The world will be a better place when they're dead--one with less hatred and intolerance."

its obviously a sad story. i always feel bad for those that resort to suicide.

saying that, theres either a bunch of hypocrites ITT or the other OTers haven't weighed in yet. i clearly remember a thread about suicide maybe a month ago where everyone was saying the dude was mad selfish and anyone that resorts to suicide is a pussy and a bitch. funny how much someone's perception about suicide changes after reading their suicide note...

Whoever did it is dead, he states that in the letter.

No he didn't. In fact, he implies that the molester is still living: "There's no point in identifying who molested me, so I'm just going to leave it at that. I doubt the word of a dead guy with no evidence about something that happened over twenty years ago would have much sway."

That's pretty respectful of the dead. Wanna go kick his dog now?
