> [Surely your post] is not intended to say that you have been telling your daughter that you don’t care if she suicides. Because that would be monstrously cruel…

I think you have misread the context. There is no condemnation of your daughter or yourself.

I am sorry to have upset you.

I have not misread your context.

You have not condemned me, but you have condemned anyone who is convinced by the suicidal person that suicide is a logical choice for them. Doubly so if the convinced person assists.

I am offended at your certainty on this. Wait until you've had a suicidal loved one attempting to convince you for months to let and/or help them die. After that you have a right to opinions on what people who have been there do. Until then, please fuck off.

With that, I'm out. You are what you are. And there is no point in trying to change you.

I condemned those who would tell a suicidal family member that they DON’T CARE. You can fuck off and take your gas-lighting bullshit with you.
