I've been suicidal and really, really depressed and ill.

I've even attempted to take my own life.

Not someone else's.

Selfish twunts.

How very horrible.

Whatever it was that the parents couldn't face, will be immeasurably worse now that they have killed their children and survived.

Like that man who threw himself off a balcony with his children - and he survived.

Unthinkably awful.

I can see that too NP. If things were so bad that I didn't want to be here anymore, and the guilt of abandoning my children and worrying what damage it would do them the rest of their lives... I'd consider it too.

I can't imagine doing that to my healthy little girls.

This isn't just depressed (iykwim), this is other mental illness (maybe on top of depression), paranoia, delusions etc...like that mum who's just been found guilty of setting that fire an dkilling her baby...all media called it PND, but isn't it Post partum psychosis really??

But it isn't an unknown pattern for men to kill their wives and children and then themselves, is it?

no me either expat. However bad things got I would like to hope that my ds would be entitled to his own life. who is anyone to decide that their children shouldn't have to live without them. selfish selfish selfish.

just want to add i have absolutely no idea of how someone suicidal feels. to be in that state of mind is impossible to imagine

i dont even know why i tried

Blu · 26/10/2006 16:47

And I agree - this has to be some sort of advanced state of mental disturbance.

It is a theory that it was a suicide pact.

I am not defending them if that is what happened, but maybe the nasty comments should wait until it has been confirmed or otherwise.

Surely you can't say what you would do unless you got to that place?

I am saying I can understand the thinking behind it.

For me, it is my children that have stopped me doing anything. Who knows what you could do once you get past that edge though

Was the father's partner their mother?

I think either way it's horrible. If they were murdered, then the killer should be hunted down and should wrot in jail for the rest of his/her life. If it was a suecide pact, then I think the parents should be punished in the harshest way possible.
