What the fuck is wrong with attention?
When my son ran away..she (my mother) said 'he just wants attention'...and I told her...well I can GIVE him that attention...and I ran after him!

Then there was the 50 or so aspirin...and my boyfriend spent the next few hours walking me about.
And that was before I was 16

(11,862 posts)and every weekend when I was going to leave, she tried to make me feel guilty for leaving....
One day I decided to never see her again, as the guilt would be the same as leaving her.
My son wanted the room she inhabited and my sister came and took her and her bank account out of state..when my son visited another country
The first thing my sister told me when she said my mother was dead, was that because she was on day care, they did not have to do an autopsy???
My mother hated my sisters kids...oh well!

(11,862 posts)My mother hated my sisters kids...when my sister brought my mother to my house to say goodbye, my sister was taking her out of state to her house...she (my mother) was incoherent???
It had been a couple of months since I had seen my mother, but I would never guess she was totally incapacitated?
My son just wanted the room my mother lived in...
I think my mother's last years were horrid...not my fault...but I wish I could have helped her.

(11,862 posts)I was in the bathroom with my wrists bleeding, though not fatally...and my sister had to break down the door, cause my mother dismissed my suicide attempt as an attempt for attention.
I admit I did not want to die...and I DID want my mother's attention...which she denied me.

(24,145 posts)I said, when someone actually dies from suicide, no one says it was because they were just looking for attention.
And I have been there, done that, spent a week in ICU.
