there are some families that are better left apart, even in resentment. What is important is that there is support elsewhere to take the place of the role a family plays for most people.

I think this quote sums up why people commit suicide. Since the mind blocks out everything, this is especially true because normally there is help available:

Quote:
“Suicide is not chosen; it happenswhen pain exceeds resources for coping with pain.”

I also like to relate the quote that has been my signature for many years:

Quote:
Life, that most brutal of teachers,
but you learn, my god do you learn.
~C.S. Lewis
