Grandparent of a child that committed suiscide at 23 years of age:
I don't know exactly what to say or what to do now that my Grandson killed himself 2 weeks ago. He was molested by a playmates older brother. We saw signs in the playmate that were of concern. He seemed isolated so my Grandson took pity on the little boy and he plays with him. After the incident we could not understand why my Grandson started changing from a happy child to a very unhappy, sad little boy. He started talking bout killing himself in grade school so we took him to an a facility to try to get him some help. At that young age he would not talk about what had happened to him. He was 15 years old before we found out about the molestation. He was spiraling out of control and we did not know what to do. He was sent to several rehab centers. The rehab would work for a while, but would lapse back into the addictive, destructive behavior.

There was a time and space I didn’t think about you, or your abuse. Where when I looked back at my life, I only saw normal things, a normal childhood.
