It's not just that. I think at the time they will think they are doing the best for everyone. I could be wrong.
Could well be. Or some may be at the point no one else or nothing else matters.
I can see both sides of it, having lost my brother that way several years ago, and also having a couple of 'incomplete attempts' myself.
Sad is the closest though - being in a place where you actually believe the world, your kids, everyone you know, will be better off without you. You know they'll cry and make noises, but they'll move on without you dragging them back. It's trying to remember you didn't always feel like that and that you won't always. I was lucky enough to have enough awareness/guilt of the mess I'd leave/whatever to stop before taking that last step.
Bloody hell, glad you made it out. Fair points about what you'd leave behind. I reckon some will be past caring, or at least at the point nothing is enough to sacrifice their escape.
Re: the lad I made the OP about. Seems like no one has a clue why still.
