When I was younger my dad tried to kill himself twice

When I was younger my dad tried to kill himself twice and my mom once. My dad now has to take a lot of pills and is not his regular self because the pills he took messed something up. I was just recently thinking that it could be my fault. I did fight with my step dad sometimes and that could be why right? I just feel really guilty even though it was a long time ago.

Answer #1

Ok dont say that, it is never the kids fault, unless you intentionaly do something just trust me I felt that way once it is normal to feel it was your fault but just don;t it isnt your fault and you are dad and mom just need to figure out that you are there for them dont let them down!!

Answer #2

sometimes medication can cause things like that to happen. cause after being on a medication for so long your system starts to get use to the drugs and no longer works like it use too. but dont go blaming urself. maybe suggest to your mom that he needs a check up and sum psycholigical testing if needed. he may even be overdoseing. good luckk.
