Would you kill yourself to protect your child?
Answer:
Yes...
I would.
You know all about it Harry Potter.
yes
No! that's stupid. There are so many alternatives you haven't considered yet have you. Suicide is NEVER the answer. Its the most selfish thing you could do to your child.
What's the circumstances? There are people who can help. But they need to know what's going on in your life. Start by picking up your phone and dialing 211 or 311 (in USA). It that doesn't work in your area then ask your gov. why! If all else fails dial 911 (USA) or '0' and ask their advice...
How would killing yourself "protect" your child? If you're gone, how can you possibly be there to look out for him/her? There's nothing more devastating to a child than to lose a parent. How could you even ask this question? If you feel like you've failed somehow to protect your child in some way, you're not alone. People make mistakes. And sometimes there is just no possible way to forsee something that may happen or prevent it from happening. That doesn't mean you don't love your child, or that you aren't fit to be a parent. The fact that you feel so badly tells me that you care very, very deeply. This doesn't make you a bad parent. But to kill yourself? To rob your child of the love of his life? That's just wrong no matter how you slice it. Wrong for him, wrong for you. Don't do it. Your son or daughter would have to live with that the rest of his/her life. There's nothing more harmful you could do to your child than to purposefully take yourself out like that. If you love your kid, be there for him. Don't expect perfection from yourself. No one is perfect. No one can be. Learn from the past and apply what you've learned to the future. You mean everything to your child. Don't take that away.
EDIT: o.k. didn't know you meant it that way. I knew someone who actually killed herself because her child was sexually abused by someone else, and when she found out about it, she blamed herself (even though it was not her fault)...she felt like she should have been able to "see" the signs of it sooner, and she felt like a failure as a parent, and somehow, over time, she convinced herself (in her grief) that her daughter would be better off without her. Your question reminded me of her. I'm so relieved that you didn't mean it that way. Thanks for adding that- I would've been up all night thinking about it.
i wouldnt 'kill myself' but i would give my life for my children
Depends? Would me dying mean my child would be safe? Like if there was a house fire and I ran in and grabbed my child and hurried up and pushed him out but then it was too late for me? In a heartbeat... I would never commit suicide if that is what you mean.but I would do everything in my power to save my child, even if that meant I had to die vs them dying.
I would not kill my self to protect my child I would give my life to protect my child but that is different. I'm not sure that you worded the question correctly. If I thought that one of my daughters was going to be hit by a car and I could push them out of the way and in the end died than I would do something like that but kill myself?? What good would that do?? Did you know that children of people who commit suicide are more likely to commit suicide themselves? I wouldn't be doing them any good and might be hurting them more in the long run,
