So about a 2 weeks ago my uncle commited suicide.i was told by my mother that for years he had been physically abusing his daughter (my cousin) and that she had tried to get help when it first happened but didnt. about 3 weeks ago she finally told my aunt (not her mom, but my other aunt) who works for a a clinic that helps women that have been abused. the police were notified and my aunt recieved full foster parent capabilities and my cousin is staying with her.
so back to my uncle- he had been depressed for about a year, because he had gotten into multiple accidents and his left arm became pretty much useless and he was in constant pain. after that happened his depression just became worse and worse. he left a suicide note for his wife saying that he doesnt want to live his life as a fugitive and that he would never be able to live with himself for what he had done to my cousin. according to the police he drove back to where he was born and killed himself.
i was informed about all of this extremely quickly and we had a memorial service for him this last weekend and i guess the finalness of it all is catching up.
is it reasonable to be angry? because i am. i hate him for doing this. for putting his family though so much pain. it is the most selfish thing he could have done. my aunt was recently layed off from her job and she now has to support herself and my cousin. its putting so much strain on her and it makes my heart break in too. i can understand that he didnt want to be a criminal and spend his life in jail, but ending his life was not the way to fix the problem. his entire family is falling apart.
i just cant believe he did all of this. and i miss him so much.
