Is your father mentally okay?

I'm so glad things have gotten better for you. As a suicide survivor, I can tell you life does get better in so many ways. It may take a long time for some of the great things to happen, but if you get the right help and support, you will start to see some rays of sunshine in a world that had held nothing but darkness - and that's all anyone really needs - those small rays of hope. I pray your life has and will continue to have those rays of happiness and joy and that you will someday be the one to be the support that makes it possible for someone else living in a dark and/or scary place to come alive again. Danny Goke sings a song called 'Tell Your Heart to Beat Again'. I think of it as my recovery and renewal song.

I am so sad for you. Everyone deserves a happy childhood! For some of us that happy childhood may come about when we are much older. Try not to let that time in hell keep you from the joys that are possible when you are no longer in that traumatic situation. Not being destroyed by your past can be very difficult. I am a strong believer in the powerful peace that can come from talking with a good counselor. You may need the counseling for support for years, and you may not find a comfortable 'fit' right away. I went through several before I found one that was not only empathetic but also helped me develop coping skills, and was tough enough to expect me to work on and use those skills to grab hold of a better life! skills to me overcome what I as behind me but don't let that stop you.
