Can't believe it..

Mine when I was like 6. I always blamed my father for it, never my mother though.

My Mother couldnt conform to the rules my family imposed on her. My Dad always tells me I am her through and through.

I shouldn't have to rely on these anti-depressants that I was just prescribed today to take care of me and keep me sane but I have to. Let's just hope it works.

I could go on for days about the situation and I'd really like to, actually, to get it out in the open and ask for more thorough advice. 😬

I just took an Ambien. I hope it kicks in soon. I've slept maybe 7-9 hours in 3 or so days.
Yes, what killed Heath Ledger with a mix of other stuff.

And please don't judge me because I don't think I'd ever really do it but since finding out about this all and what I'll lose forever, I've felt like I really shouldn't be living anymore. 😬 I'd be a lot better off.

Sorry to hear that. Try to stay in a positive state of mind.

Sorry to hear that.

Ugh, divorce sucks so bad. My parents split up when I was 8, so it's been 14 years.

14 years. And we're STILL having issues because my dad is a classic deadbeat jackass who won't do a ****ing thing he's supposed to do until he gets dragged into court. He's also an abusive compulsive lying alcoholic who does not ever think of anyone but himself, even though he's nearing 50.

Haven't spoken to my dad in over 5 years now, and while we've had a lot of problems since my mom and dad split up, I am SO glad they didn't try to stay together or anything. Things are a lot better without him in our lives. Walking out of his house at 3am on a Saturday when I was 17 was one of the best decisions I ever made.

But I know first-hand how much something like this can mess up a family, and while we tend to be at odds, I'm really sorry that you're dealing with this right now, Kelly.

1. Kelly, it happens. You're an adult now and you shouldn't let this type of shit affect you like this. Learn from your parents mistakes. My parent's should have been divorced well over 20 years ago. Their marriage is worse than most people's who get divorced. If your parents couldn't get along, you should welcome a divorce.

However, it can be hard to deal with a divorce when you love both your parents a lot and you just want a fantasy "everybody's" happy. I wanted and still want that for my parents...but it'd be better if they got divorced. What about our parents? Do you think it's better off if they get divorced? (Do NOT include yourself as part of the picture when you think about that, especially since you're an adult.)

2. Ledger practically committed suicide. Ambien and the benzodiazepines he was taking modulate the same cell site complex. Once they are full (because it takes a few days to free up those sites if you stop taking them), you don't feel the effect as well. Heath didn't die from the sleeping pills and benzodiazepines. He died because he was a drug addict and wanted to "feel" the drugs so he took some heavy shit. My guess is he either took a down-regulator like flumazenil to clear himself up so he could "feel" those drugs again and then took a similar amount of drugs BEFORE the he flushed out with flumazenil, or he simply popped a shit load of pills all at once. (How is that not suicide?) This shit you hear about "oh, the timing, and he was a little off on his cycle and it killed him." Is complete and utter bullshit. It takes DAYS to free up those receptors in order for him to screw up some sort of "timing". Again, how is not taking a shit load of pills all at once suicide?

Don't get me wrong, I think Ledger was an great actor and a nice dude. However, stop with this blind fanaticism, peeps.

my dad gambled all our money away and was depressed. He hit her once. I'm just happy he didnt do it more than. I still count myself as lucky that he wasnt worse. It was a messy divorce. I was 12. I understood what was going on and didnt care only that my dad started stalkin my mum and we had to move house/ change phone number/ sell the car and change schools. My life story youpi

count yourself lucky that both parents still want you.

Lol, you must not see daylight much.

Well at least both your parents are alive and well.

my mum died.

I'd much prefer she was alive and my parents were separated if I had a choice.

You need to look at the bright side.

Nice fan base he has now, after his death. Jesus.

"We have concluded that the manner of death is accident"

From the official coroner report. You guys saying you know more than the coroner?

You're an adult now and you shouldn't let this type of shit affect you like this.

You are a damn idiot if you think that age has anything to do with the effect that someone's family breaking to pieces should have on them.

Wow, look, someone can quote a wiki article. Dude, right after the autopsy, they were saying it was "inconclusive" and now we have "accident". So, Heath accidentally swallowed a shit load of pills after being on them for months?

I'm not saying the Heath wanted to end his life, I'm saying that he took a calculated risk of death and ended up dying. For all intents and purposes, if he did that willingly, how is it not suicide? When he was swallowing a wad of pills, you don't think that he though, "Gee, this shit is gonna kill me." If he did, then that's suicide. Why do people usually wig out on drugs? Escape? Why do people commit suicide? Heath just got to the point a little more abruptly. Maybe he didn't want to die so soon, or maybe he fully intended to kill himself. "Accident" my ass.

I'm not the one who is so callous as to tell someone that their reaction to what is a big deal is inappropriate for their age.

For example, if someone is in their early teens, old enough to realize whats going on, but also not mature enough to deal with it like an adult, it could be harder on them.

It really all depends on the person though.

I know you are but what am I? 😆

There's I reason I worded it like this:

OBVIOUSLY it will adversely affect her. That's only natural. She SHOULD be affected by it. But do you really think she should be talking about "Heath"esque drugging like it will solve her problems? That's what I was referring to when I said "affect you like this".

Drowning your problems with drugs is usually not a good thing, unless you know something I don't. They are there to be used for situations like hers...but I just hope she doesn't get stuck in the depressants storm.

Maybe you mistook a frightened friends words for callous?

Meh...

This divorce probably wouldn't have affected her as much if she hadn't been living with them for like 5 years. I've been out my toxic parents nest for 5+ years now and it's been great. Maybe Kelly will look back and think the same.
