No damage just a sign of something wrong. Not so abnormal but his big brother.... commited suicide less than a year ago. So he has the thinking and now the example. He has talked about death several times according to his father and mother. His mom my cousin called me begging to talk to him. But I also got to speak to his dad and man we talked about some good things. So he had the love.. he just needs the direction. He is new in my life. I met him when I went to San Antonio but had phone conversation prior with him. For some damn reason he adores me. Maybe the kind of attention I know how to give him. Maybe my honesty. I know this.. i am an export on the subject of suicide. I so wish I could of got ahold of his brother before. Just wish I knew there was a problem. Good thing is.. my little cousin is getting Facebook so we can talk more often. He need attention but the right kind of attention. So super smart but not knowing how to harness his energy. Plus he needs to stop hatting himself. That will be his hardest hurdle. thanks for listening. Got so much on my plate right now from work family. and this is my number one thought. I dont want to screw this up. His life my depend on it.

Thanks!!!!! He is def worth it. Good kid. He wants me to move back to San Antonio but I think being far will work even better. He's had a hard family life. Crack abuse and other... well you understand. Mental illness he def has but much of that is genetics. I am just glad he looks up to me which means I cant screw up. Been doing a lot of this lately. Kind of wonderful. Talking to so much family that I would not have before. About time!

Have you thought about becoming a teen counselor for those who are in that situation? yea.. but before I did not have the confidence I do now. That is what has changed in my life and not long ago. So.. now I know I need to get busy. Trying to figure that out. I know so much information that I need to share. And I love people even though I hate the human race. I could explain that but not sure needed.

I know what he is going thru losing a family member that way. Most cases the ones left behind blame themselves. Don't let him do that. Everyone has a choice, no one could actually make someone do that. In the end it's always the person performing the act, that acts alone. Their decision, not others. I was lucky with the second family member that tried that, She was a teenager, living in horrible conditions she thought that was the only way to get out. I tried to help her before contacting agencies to check on her, I wasn't allowed there myself. When she came to at the hospital, she wanted me and they called. To make a long story short, she lived with me the next two years . With love and understanding and such she learned people did care about her and life never had to be like it was before for her. Today she's healthy and working a steady job, she has the same bf she's had for awhile, and all is good with her. She knows tho if she needs me I'll always be there for her. That's what he needs to know, that you will be there for him. He values your opinion and he needs that and someone he can trust. I wish you both the very best . Awards
