  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

The long and short of it, in the last three years I've lost both of my parents, my dad I had to make the choice to let him die a slow death, I lost a good friend, my wife got pregnant with our second child, but after he was born my wife became severely mentally ill. Post partum psychosis and bipolarism did a number on her to the point that she was ignoring our newborn, refused to get help, I initiated divorce proceedings and she had to leave the house for the safety of our children (14, 1.5). On top of all of this, I'm losing my job soon.
Needless to say, all of this compounding grief, stress, depression, it's at a point now where I don't even want to continue on, which I feel awful for saying because my children should give me that drive but it's not there anymore.

I've been poking around these forums for almost three months without an account looking up various methods. I considered nitrogen, I can get access to everything I need for that method, but I don't want to leave such an obvious suicide for my children to have to deal with mentally. Not physically of course, I wouldn't do this around them or in a place where they'd find me.
So I've settled on carbon monoxide and a tent, I read about the success with that method in one of the more popular posts about it, I also see how often it accidentally happens to those on camping trips. Me going out for a night wouldn't be suspicious, and I'm going to do some testing to confirm my tent will do the job or if it needs to be modified. Single skin, that 3000 rating for water proofing, only thing I see being an issue is the vent at the top, which I'm looking into ways to seal it in a way that looks accidental.

The crux of all of this is that no matter how hard I try, it's going to be labeled a suicide. I'm sure I have some loose ends I'd be forgetting to tie off, a random search on my cell phone, the carbon monoxide analyzer I order from amazon will be an obvious sign that I knew what I was doing. I can't get around hurting my children, but I don't feel as if I can stick around for them.
I look at the future, and ask myself what I have to look forward to? Working until I drop? Cultivating pointless hobbies? Playing video games? Dating again? Nah, I've been on this planet nearing 40 years now, I've seen everything there is to see in one shape or form and I don't like it.

I love my children, I really do, leaving them makes me so fucking sad, but I shouldn't of had them. I've had insane delusions about my eldest wanting to ctb with me, not that I've talked to them about any of this, but knowing they'd be free from pain and suffering with me, would bring some comfort as fucked up as that sounds. It's just another reason why I should continue down the path I've chosen.

I'm very sorry for all your suffering.

One question though,
So you have A 14 year old and a 1 1/2 year old. How will they fend for themselves once you're gone?
How will they support themselves?

Also, thirteen years after having your first kid, you had another one. Why? Surely these problems started to crop up before that?Couldn't you have decided not to have the second kid?

I'm just trying to understand, please don't mind if it seems accusatory.

You're fine, accuse away. This is a shitty situation and I'm a shitty person for considering this.

There's one set of friends that said if something were to ever happen to me, they'd take them. If that didn't pan out it'd be foster homes... We have no family that'd step up that haven't told me to pound sand.

He was a surprise for sure, nothing planned. My wife showed no symptoms and was extremely excited for the baby, nothing was out of the ordinary. It wasn't long after she gave birth things went downhill, fast. Her screaming at me, accusing me of things I didn't do, she stopped pulling her weight and moved everything out into the garage. She would only watch our newborn from the baby monitor and come in to change him/feed him.

I guess I remembered the joy my first one gave me and I wanted that again, but without my partner here, with everything on top of having a child, I didn't take that in to consideration. I was/am an idiot.

I know crazy things do happen in life that aren't always up to us. Is there a life insurance for yourself you can take with the kids as a beneficiary?

None that would cover me for if I voluntarily ctb.

Are you sure? Please check in your local area. Most insurance plans actually cover suicide after a period of one year. You can Google it too.
I feel awful for thinking "I can't do another year" ...

I'm a mother of two in my 30's.
My entire existence is just a mess and they deserve better. So I don't feel shame for my plans. I believe them to be a good thing.

A year is nothing. You can definitely get through it. Just take the year to collect and plan through a good method. You need information anyway. Time is your friend.

Suicide isn't easy. Survival instinct isn't An easy thing to overcome, and who knows whether the method will even succeed the first time.Just saying you need to consider all this.Might be a good idea to at least look into a policy.

I just feel like I should warn you that this is an issue that Sasu users can become extremely passionate about. As in OP's can sometimes find themselves feeling worse after a post like this.
All I can say is I am childless and it sounds absolutely horrific to be in a situation like yours. It just makes everything so much more complicated and I really feel for you. There is no good answer.
I wish I had something insightful to say.

Yeah I can see that, you write it down and see all the crappiness laid out, it sucks and makes you swim in it.
I've lost so much weight in the past two months from the stress, it's crazy.

Just replying is good, no need to be insightful.
