It's my journal and it's the only place on the internet that I really feel comforable saying whatever I feel like so please forgive me for this when I'm done

From my own personal experience with suicidal ideation, I found it to be merely 'wanting the pain to stop'. I DO support the individual Right to Die where there really is no other option, terminal illness, etc. Or in the case of sacrificing one's life for others or for a cause, such as a soldier saving his comrades by throwing himself upon a grenade and the like.
However, killing oneself out of despair is almost always a mistake, a 'permanent solution to a temporary problem' as the saying goes. And it always hurts others, often in ways we cannot know. I think of Virginia Wolfe's suicide at the beginning of WW2. I understand her anguish..and we could have used her Voice to help us collectively deal with that catastrophe. So, though I never met her, her death affected me.
And then there are larger Karmic aspects - which one may or may not believe - such as this.
I appreciate this... I just don't know how to express myself when it comes to being molested by my brother, and him tormenting me today. It is something that has deeply harmed me, something that has followed me into my adult life, as I have to see him a lot for family events and whenever he is home

Thank you. I really don't think about all that stuff all the time. I jut focus a lot on school, work, friends, my boyfriend, activism, the internet, etc. It's when I focus on family that I just go nuts. I wish that I didn't live here, but I keep telling myself to save money. Overall, it's really bad for me though. I am a much nicer, happier, and more stable person when I am not forced to be around him.
