Today, my mom told me that if I wanted to commit suicide, I should make it seem like a car accident, and not do it in the house, because she would be too embarrassed if people thought she was a bad parent. FML

Ironic how that very statement makes her a bad parent

You clearly need to talk over a few things with her

Because good parents make sure to teach their children how to commit suicide properly. FYL, OP

First of all, suicide is never the answer, call one of the help lines, go join a group, talk to your friends. Also go buy a few scratch tickets just for the hell of it.

Are you suicidal OP? Please don't do it! Many many people care about you and suicide is not the answer. Take it from me...I swallowed an entire bottle of pills to try to end my life. I ended up getting incredibly sick and had to be rushed to the emergency room. As I sat there having doctors and nurses try to save me, I realized I didn't want to die. I just needed help and someone to talk to. Luckily it wasn't too late for me. Please go get help and find someone to talk to. You can always message me if you need to talk. If you comment back I will give you my real email address and we can talk anytime.

I'm so glad that you made it. That is incredibly sweet of you to reach out to OP that way, also. I hope that you go far in life, I truly do. You were obviously meant to be here, perhaps you're meant to help others who might be hurting like yourself and OP. Good luck, and take care!

Wow, she wanted to not be a bad parent but that statement made her one.

I'm pretty sure she was probably just joking. Though as a mother, she still shouldn't say things like that.

I lost my grandfather to suicide today and I can tell you firsthand the amount of grief and overwhelming sadness my family is facing. OP if you really are facing thoughts like that I would strongly recommend getting help and leaving a situation that encourages you to harm yourself.

I'm so sorry for your loss #110 :( OP, all of us on FML are here for you! If you need help, get some, there's no shame in it. Best of luck.

Please don't, I made it you can too. just push it out and it will get better.

This makes me so sad to hear. And how awful is it that not only does she not realize how utterly cruel that is to say to a person, more so to your own child, but she also doesn't see how saying that makes her a bad parent, which she apparently would be trying to avoid the appearance of in such a tragic event. I'm so sorry to hear that you were told such insulting things - don't ever forget that what other people say doesn't define you as a person, which may sound cheesy but is entirely true

your Mom sounds like she needs some Serious therapy, Im so sorry that she ever said those hurtful words, I don't think she deserves to have children... just my opinion.If that thought has ever entered your head, please PLEASE go talk to someone, anyone but your Mom.
