Discussion Does it run in your family?

[Ligottian]

Yes. Let me start. My paternal great uncle blew his brains out propped against a tree. My mother's maternal uncle shot himself after sending his daughter to the store. Her paternal cousin killed himself with carbon monoxide from a car. My maternal grandmother made an attempt with iodine My maternal grandfather threatened to kill himself. My mother once ran from the meal table saying she was going to kill herself.

A nice pedigree of misery, no?

A HUGE YES for/about me and my "family" I have had past family ctb and I firmly believe that my "parents" were absolutely lost in their own reality.

My ant shot herself having a leave from psyk ward. My grandmother was paranoid. Some ants and cousins on my fathers side had / has bipolar, drinking and using to much drugs.

Yes :/ sadly my Dads brother killed himself and my mum and dad are the ones that found him. Mental illness and addiction runs very strongly in my family. I feel so much guilt that I am going to put my family (especially my dad even though we don't get along), through the same pain and loss. I'm very concerned that when I go, my dad will also CTB. But I pray he will be strong enough to get though it and have the support he needs :(

I wish my narc family had ctb before I was born.

Not sure. My dad was a druggie and died because of that but my mother always said he was very emotional so he probably used them to cope with the pain is what I like to imagine. My grandmother on my mother's side is nuts, and I'm very similar to her for what I fear are close reasons one another.
