AspieFireman just posted on blog

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know this person (I think his handle here is AspieFireman) personally, but he just posted on his blog a suicide attempt, sounds pretty serious. I don't know if this is the appropriate place to put this, but I thought maybe someone here might want to know and be in a position to call authorities or something.

This keeps happening.. It says that it's a delayed entry, but I think the last time this happened, it said that too. I don't know what to say/do, these keep popping up, and I don't think there's really much anybody can do. I don't really want to say anything or judge when it comes to stuff like this.. It says he was just in the hospital, too.

Edit: this is dumb, but he mentioned in that note about his dog, and I keep thinking about how abandoned the dog is going to feel. Not wanting to abandon Piper has kept me from killing myself more than once.

I think this is the final, real attempt. Watch the video.

This is what happens when people keep posting suicide notes and don't do it. It gets old. I left a comment on his blog.

For someone who wants to kill himself, he's making quite a song and dance about it. As I understand it, people who genuinely intend to kill themselves don't mess around with suicide notes, YouTube videos and sleeping pills, they just do it.

Erm, yeah, no offence, but stuff the dog - he is father to an unborn child?! How f*****g selfish is that?!

I guess he just wants to make sure that his suicide will influence those around him in a way that he wants them to be influenced.
Maybe he always kept planning and/or attempting suicide, but never succeeded. I doubt that it will be successful this time, either. He'll most likely just end up in the hospital again.

Well, I would be more cynical about it if he were complaining about something trivial. He really is getting screwed over and can't do a thing about it. If he were complaining about not getting laid enough or something, that would be different.

Not quite as selfish as the bloke who takes the kids out for the day and kills them along with himself to spite the missus.

I have only sympathy for the child. I can't imagine how she will feel when she finds out her dad killed himself before she was born because her grandma was mean to him. Wtf. Seriously. And if it is a cry for help, what next? His daughter comes home with a C- and he gets upset again? That's got to be good for her psychological health. Honestly, some people should be sterilised at birth.

I remember that.. as I said above - sterilisation.

Who wouldn't be dependant on him anyway (for one thing, he was talking about adoption, and for another, it seems like he wouldn't have been allowed contact anyway), unlike the dog who requires him for food and water, at least until someone calls for him (and I hope someone has). At the moment, the dog has importance.

EnglishInvader - some people leave no note and no notification, others do.

Fathers have rights. There are courts. There's also his (ex)girlfriend involved in this.. who as it says has told her mother the truth, and it's her say, not her mother's.

Yeah, they do, but it'd be an uphill battle from the start (as he's the father, not the mother), and as he was in the hospitals for psychological problems more than once, it'd probably be no more than supervised visits at best. I've gotten the impression that the girlfriend is not likely to go against her mother.

I got the impression that his pregnant girlfriend is still under the guardianship of her parents so doesn't actually get to choose, and isn't allowed to see him. it sounds like a mess all around.

The ironic thing is that his current behaviour is proving him to be an unfit parent. If I were a family court judge, I would be reluctant to authorise anything beyond supervised visitation rights.
