I can tell you for a fact that if I were to unalive myself today my parents would blame it on social media, the school system being woke, queer people "confusing" me, vaccines, or whatever else

But they'd never look at themselves and think that maybe how they treated me as a child led to consequences that still heavily affect me today. Where their "parenting" led to mental health issues that I struggle with even still decently into my 20s

(And in case you're worried, no I won't kill myself, don't worry)

I'm in my fifties, still dealing with major depression and suicidality on a daily basis. I get it. I, too, am not a danger to myself or others, although I've sometimes held on only by a thread.
