Sure Trace, you have shared some of your father's challenges and he tended to use alcohol to self medicate. Your father had challenges and I use the term disease but that could be illness, or mental health illness/challenges. To do what he did was something that challenged him to a point where he made that decision, and often that decision is about "self" and not others or involving lack of caring about others enough or thinking others are strong enough to handle their decision. I think that is something "most" survivors struggle with. It's a very complicated loss and hard to grieve.
