(1,508 posts)When will parents/people wake up and begin to actually talk to each other? I wonder....
Yes, we all need to look, listen and communicate, maybe if we do, we can prevent the pain and suffering of human beings on this earth. Maybe if we do, the suicide count in this nation will decrease.

(49,212 posts)The problem here isn't how the kid poisoned herself (there are dozens of things in any house that will do the job,) it's that her supposedly loving mother won't use her name or accept her identity even over her literal dead body. That's why she's dead, the mechanics of how she did it are almost entirely beside the point.
