If I killed myself, would my family be responsible for my debts?

Yes, I know I could google this but the idea of doing so makes me really panicky.

I am not in a good place. I am a depressive, alcoholic with a fuck load of debts. I think I am about to lose my house. I haven't been into work since last week. Emailed my boss on Monday saying I was sick. Haven't been in touch yesterday or today.

I can't DO this. I can't be a proper functioning person. I never could.

I want to end it all. I know it would devastate my parents and adult daughter but, honestly, I think they would be better off if I didn't exist any more. I've lied to them so much over the last couple of years.

But the debt thing scares me. I owe so much money. If I were dead, would my parents be liable for my debts?

Hi there Barely

We're so sorry you're having such a rough time of it at the moment.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually like to draw attention to our Mental Health resources - here. You can also go to the Samaritans' website here, or email them on [email protected].

We can see you've had loads of support on this thread and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as lots of other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek real life help and support as well.

Sorry for hijacking your thread Barely, and we really hope things start to look up for you soon Flowers
