Christmas day. We had to leave because son was raging, smashing things. It just wasn't safe at the moment. Now wondering if he is okay. We've already forgiven him. Unconditional love. But can he forgive himself enough to stay alive? It's a sad day today. All we ever wanted was peace, a safe place to live. The son. He's not the brother but we are reminded of the brother in the son's actions. Hereditary? Or bad parenting. We will always wonder the degree of our failure.

Yes, you are right Sky. Cannot change the past at any rate. Everything will work out for the best, even if different than expected. Thank you for your response.

I'm sorry you are having such a rough day with your son. You are doing the best you can right now. Just try to hang in there and be thankful for what you DO have in your life.

Having dealt with violent behavior in my own family, I am convinced that both heredity and example are factors....But to really help, you can't waste any time blaming yourself. Ultimately, we all have to be responsible for our behaviour (whatever the original cause). Continue to love him and most importantly ..encourage him to seek professional help. Once he has acknowledged that he needs it....I truly believe that it will be a positive road. In my family, sometimes the episodes of violence were not even remembered. I'm assuming that our own minds are very capable of "blocking" out that of which we are least proud. good luck.....grace

Thanks grace. You are right about that. He does go to a t but it seems that he needs more. He is unwilling to do more at this time though and that makes it hard to stand back and watch him self destruct. We have beat our heads against the proverbial brick wall trying to get people to listen, to no avail. He is calmer now, having taken out his agression and survived yet again the suicide ideation and attempts. We sit with baited breath until the next round, praying continuously.
