Brook, that is horrible. My H walked in on his dad trying to commit suicide. If it were not for him walking in on him he would no longer be here.

My H was 10 and his dad had started a truck and laid under the exhaust while it was running. He proceeded to drink until he passed out. My H had to pull his daddy out from under that truck and he thought he was dead. A little 80 lb 10 yr old boy had to pull a 200 lb man out from under a truck. He watched his daddy and thought he was gone and the trauma it caused in him eventhough his dad is here today, was tremendous. He never told his mom. It was his secret he didn't want to hurt his mom. She already spent to much time in state mental facilities. I certinly feel for you.
