Seeing articles posted of men, mostly fathers, committing suicide reminded me of something I once read. I posted it as a comment, but decided it deserves it's own post.
This is aimed at those fathers among us in particular, but anyone considering suicide, I beseech you to heed these words:
*It is well known that people use the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco to commit suicide. What isn't well known is that many of them realize all of their problems are solvable.
The problem with that realization is they don't have it until halfway down.*
Please, don't do it to yourself. Your children need their father, more today than ever. I know it may seem cliche, but life is precious. There is a solution to your problems, it just might not be obvious. You may have to search for it. Suicide isn't the answer though. Ponder the Golden Rule here. If someone you cared about did this, what would that do to you?
History is overflowing with men who rose victorious over insurmountable odds. You can do likewise. Humanity survives because of these men. Men like you!
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
