Take a minute and maybe make something better [if this applies]

I don't normally post this sort of thing, but I'm just so sad about it, about something that is for such a STUPID reason. One of The Boy's best friends, someone that I find charming and funny and sweet, tried to kill himself, we just learned.

Faahhhhk I hate hearing about stuff like this.

Having taken in a kiddo who had nowhere to go for a night while we tried to figure out a place for her, it hurts me so much to hear that these parents could not take 5 seconds from their bickering to see the impact it was having. Good grief.

Damn. I am sorry. Your son is incredibly kind and thoughtful to want to help. I hope your post gets reposted over and over again. I agree that those kinds of parents are POS.

Heartbreaking and horrifying.

There is no maximum to the number of times you should tell your children you love them. None.

Poor, poor boy. My heart breaks to think of a child of his age who can feel the world is better without him in it. And, yes, I would happily see violence done to his parents, which I know is wrong but it's my gut reaction right now. How dare they?

My love and sympathy to your boy - it's a terrifying thing for him to experience too. And love to you.

I LOVE that movie! So does my 1 year old son (whom I just told I love, and I just did it again and he grinned back at me!)

My icon! Yes. I love that scene too. She's amazing.

I tell my kids multiple times a day too. They roll their eyes sometimes, teenagers now, but they know I mean it!
