Two things really.

One, I leave things undone that I would want done, in other words I leave my affairs not quite in order. Sure, I could do those things, but it is a barrier.

Two, I have a son (adult). He already has issues, has been suicidal numerous times and to boot is an alcoholic. I know full well what anything done on my part would set into motion. He has told me that his dad and myself are the only reason he keeps on. Unfortunately, he refuses to get help. With his being an adult, there's not much I can do about it. But you better believe I hope with all my might that he will see his way to getting help.

I don't know the stat, but it has been studied and a parent's S considerably increases the chance of any of their kids following suit. And, given my circumstances, that likelihood would be MUCH higher. I couldn't possibly put him in that position. He looks to me for acceptance and support, not devastation.
