So let’s start from the beginning shall we? When I was just 2 years old my Mom broke up with my Dad and was cheating on him with my Step Dad (who I might add is an alcoholic). Ever since I was 5 I was mentally and physically abused whether it be by hitting me too hard to be classified as discipline or it be selling my own dog that I loved and cared for, while I was taking a nap. It only got worse from there. I never had any true friends. Only the ones that took advantage of me. But then I found a true friend! We became besties. I even found a girlfriend! My life was at its peak of happiness… until June 14th 2016. I was 12. My best friend died. Then shortly after, the relationship turned into a harem. My girlfriend kept edging toward the other side but kept reassuring me that she loved us “both the same.” But after a while it was clear she was cheating on me. I went insane! Yelling, screaming, crying. I was broken. That was my first suicide attempt. Cutting. It didn’t work (clearly). But I did notice that it helped me focus on the physical pain from the knife more than the emotional pain. I actually enjoyed it so I kept cutting whenever I would have an outbreak of depression. Until just a couple months ago. My Step Dad was drunk as usual but he kept “pushing my buttons” if you will. And then he brought up my best friend. I couldn’t keep going I took a knife and wanted to kill him but… I didn’t want to force the pain I endure onto other people like Mom, who would be devastated. So I didn’t, instead I went to my room, hid the knife and made a noose. I attached the noose to a pole in the bathroom, I put my neck through and hung but the pole fell off. I kept crying because this world won’t let me end my pain. This isn’t my entire story but it’s the main “jist” of it. I’ll add more as time goes on.

You’ll be able to leave your house someday and have far more choices, much happier choices than you have at the moment. Hang in there.
A friend of mine was really helped by Alateen and then by Adult Children of Alcohols.
Too late for help
