Dear Susan:
I really shouldn’t have anything to complain about. I have a good marriage and a couple of good kids. My job is interesting. We’re comfortable financially. We have, friends, family, church. I should be happy, but I think about ending my life almost everyday. I put on a smile for my wife and kids, and I do really enjoy seeing them happy. I just don’t understand why can’t I be happy myself? I’m ashamed to tell anyone about it, but I make up elaborate plans for killing myself and compose suicide letters in my head. I’m afraid some day I’ll go through with it. I know it’s not the answer and that it was have a horrible affect on my family, but somehow it makes me feel better to think my life might soon be over. I know I need to talk to someone, but I really don’t see how it will help. Signed:
Desperate Dad
