Thus poor woman must have been desperate, but I also feel very sorry for the daughter she left behind! I am not starting this thread to be controversial I just think it must be awful to be so desperate for another child that suicide seems the only option.

Worzel Mummage - How dare you call someone selfish for doing what she did - you have no idea what mental state the poor woman was in.

Poor woman. Poor family. How unimaginably awful for all involved.

'Selfish' doesn't even come into it

shit, what a burden for her child. terrible.

Oh

I hope there is more to this than just TTC. I say 'just' as someone who has been trying hard to have a first (And probably only) child but who just can't understand how someone would get so low that they would leave their one child motherless. I hope this is just the DM being sensationalist.

She didn't commit suicide over failure to conceive. She killed herself because she was mentally ill.

Two people in my family have killed themselves. Both leaving small children. Monumentally self-centred, yes. Did it take years to stop feeling angry at their selfishness? Yes. I think we only were able to accept it when we also accepted that it was a mental illness that took them from us, and inasmuch it wasn't their choice.

for her and her family. My heart goes out to her little girl.

Duelling Fanjo. Esactly. I am sure there is more to this than just ttc. She may have had underlying mental health problems that even she didn't recognise, and they were oerghaps exacerbated by her recent problems. Who knows? I too had problems conceiving my first (and only) but doing what she did would never had crossed my mind, like you. But we are all different, and unfortuantely there are a lot of people out there who struggle every day with depression, and their demons, and things that we can deal with are just too much for them.

but haven't you taken the wrong lesson, lolol? if this poster goes round attacking people regularly, shouldn't you stand up and be counted, or at the very least report her behaviour to MN? i think changing your name so that she can't see you (when it seems that it wasn't personal as she does it to others) is a peculiar response to the problem of that one poster.

? Wrong thread Aitch?

evidently so, saggars. and what's more confusing is that the name of the poster i was responging to (on other thread) was lolol.

apols.

Thought you'd been on the vino.
