Discussion Mother thinks daughters suicide attempts were for attention

[15dec]

What do you guys think of this?

 

[Pegasus]

Her mom probably made her want to commit suicide.

 

[21Neberg]

Has to be horrible for the daughter. To go this far, to even attempt to end her own life and still get absolutely zero support from her mother.

I was thinking along the same lines, there's definitely a lack of understanding and support on her mother's part which almost certainly contributed to the daughter wanting to ctb.

Yeah, even after two attempts she doesn't seem that bothered. To me she came across as wanting to be viewed as the victim in the situation, with the comments about her daughter doing it to hurt her and whatnot

I think I'm starting to understand why that daughter would want to CTB...

In all seriousness, I feel horrible for her. I haven't watched the entire episode so I don't know what treatment they got but that mother is not supporting her child in any way.

 

[MsM3talGamer]

The mum is probably a narcissist who's enjoying the attention her "awful" daughter is getting for her. I can't understand how a parent can lack empathy for their own child. Especially a suicidal one.

 

[Hopeless_soul]

I've never entirely trusted people who appear in talk-shows, but stories like that one happen all the time, and make me sad and angry.

 

[Smilla]

This was me at thirteen after one attempt. I had zero support from my Mom.

Hard to watch this.

Also: what kind of Mother goes on Dr Phil like this?

This won't end well.

 

[color_me_gone]

That mom gives me the vibes as being a cold heartless person, who only cares about herself.
The proof is that she didn't even visit the hospital: Excuse? She couldn't get off work? Gotta call BS on that!
I really don't see any love that the mom has for her daughter.
And yah, this happens a LOT. That's why we have some people here, for just that reason.
It is so sad that some people have children, and then don't love them.
Why? I wish we knew. I wish there was some way to prevent this. But I just don't know.

 

[meowcat]

This is like my family.
I did'nt watch the above video but i'm guessing the daughter successfully ctb.In which case she's at peace and the evil mother will still have to live on with the devil in her heart that will keep tormenting her.
Sorry.i've jumped to conclusions without watching the video.I don't have the heart to watch it.

Yes (!). Nothing worse than cruel parents.

 

[Hopeless_soul]

Dr. Phil is a hack and scumbag...and all of these people have issues and TV isn't the place to deal with any of them. Sad to watch.

Morbid stories are profitable.

It was similar for me after my parents found out I'd attempted, they were ashamed and didn't want me having treatment for the physical effects of the OD or for my actual depression. They tried to blackmail/scare me into not going to hospital and lying to the mental health teams.

Maybe the mother is trying to guilt or shame her daughter, or just likes the attention she'll get from being on TV.

Sorry this happened to you also.
It's a hard realization to come to terms with, and no one should have to go through this.

I'll have more to post tomorrow about this.

Hugs.

The mothers reaction is very cold and bizarre. But the father, I think he is what inspired these feelings in her daughter to be honest, 15 year olds are very impressionable. This can happen if we ctb, might inspire family members to do the same unfortunately.

Both parents are insane tbqh.

I don't want sound like a cunt, but if I had a daughter I would never act the way he did, especially after she tried to commit suicide herself!

Well at least I'd like to think so.

I don't have daughter now do I, and never will :(

I can totally relate to this girl. My parents didn't even know I tried when I was 14 or 15, the extreme vomiting and being dressed at 3am didn't give it away. When I told them my mother said I did it to hurt her, ruin her anniversary, and to make her look like a horrible mother. My father slapped me and called me a bitch. No empathy or asking if I was ok....

I hope she got help. None of the adults there seemed to care about her.

I'm sorry you had to experience that, it's really awful. You're not alone here though and many of us understand how you're feeling and what you've been through. Sending hugs ♡

Thank you, hugs well received. There are some really good people here.

Sending you a cuddle @SiArc, my mother visited me in a Psychiatric hospital when I was 19 after being transferred from time in intensive care and asked, "how could I do that to her, how could I be so selfish?"

We both got the best mothers... Love you xxxxx

 

[RememberWhatUCameFor]

to be fair there are indeed cases where a suicide attempt is more a cry for help then a serious effort to end a life

everyone is different

 

[EmoIsNotAPhase]

Sounds like my mom who couldn't handle my brother and me having problems at the same time so of course my brother gets the pass and I'm the bad person

 

[color_me_gone]

Dr. Phil is a hack and scumbag...

Totally agree. It is mostly dramatized for viewership and ratings.
That said, this shit really DOES happen irl!

 

[Kdawg2018]

I LOL at this vid, sawy, I am in a dark place where everything suicidal is just funny to me now. I liked the dad's note. I don't like the mom, obvi, and I thought it was really funny where the daughter said that just cuz she hates his guts it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to use him LMFAO! I can relate to that

 

[color_me_gone]

My father slapped me and called me a bitch.

I am so sorry that happened to you.
Some people are just garbage.

Oh she sounds like a gem. Why do people always think it is about them, how could we do it to them. It is about us, the individual. Bloody hell.

Much love back, feeling the cuddles.
