Telling family

[AnnaJaspers]

I have one remaining family member alive--an older brother whom I am basically estranged from.

Have tried repeatedly to tell him of my intent to die, either with an Exit Bag or at a Swiss Clinic (which I am in the process of applying to), and I am met with NO RESPONSE OR REACTION.

This hurts me a great deal, but I am not surprised considering that we have divergent views on everything and he was and continues to be an abusive bully.

I won't even bother leaving a note. All those years crying for help with no result. Well, It's too late now, I've lost all hope and simply can't be bothered anymore.

Hey Anna, I know how you feel, even if its not my brother I told about it. He hadn't been a good brother in my childhood.... He changed as he got older, quite a good man now, but I didn't change. Well, I told my mother, that I can't stand it any longer, well... a lot of times. Sometimes she even cried, as she heard about my desperation, but she is good at repressing it and act like everythings fine. She keeps telling me, that I just should change this and that, it wouldn't be a big deal, just change my mind and Iam good. I think, thats her way trying to help me, but we're playing this "game" for 3 years now and she's still not able to understand, what Iam struggling with, what makes my life unbearable.
It's horrible... I really love her, it's not her fault. And I could be strong enough in all those years not to commit suicide, just because of her. I don't want her to suffer. She will suffer terribly, I know that. But I reached a point, where I cannot continue any longer. I can't see any future and the last fights are fought. I wouldn't be able to continue anything, because I will lose everything I have, but... her.
I haven't seen her in the last 3 months, because I wanted her to get over it more... easily. She is so sad, that Iam not calling her... Usually I visit her every week and it hurts so much, that I can't be with her. I know, 3 months is nothing. She will be devastated anyway. Iam glad she still gots my brother and his wife and son.
I wished she could understand what Iam going through.

I'm the same I've asked that is if got worse Switzerland is the way I want to go. I know Dignitas won't take mentally ill patients yet but exit do. My partner knows all this.

That is so cruel of him - I am so sorry- and you must have exceptionally good reasons if you are applying for a clinic! he is obviously not a good or kind person at all- to not even react to you.
