Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM Triumph 111.

Denise, welcome to the program. Thank you, Dr. Laura. I am looking for a way

for you to give me a different outlook for feeling responsible for my 25 year old son taking his life two years ago,

it will be in April.

And how did he go about taking his life?

Drugs, a gun, what?

With a gun?

Yes.

Did he leave a note?

He did.

She left a note.

And what did the note say?

He was very sorry. He had a bad breakup with a girlfriend and we knew about that, but that he'd always thought about taking his life and we knew that and tried to get

help for him but when he was with the girlfriend he was very happy like she was a savior and she just dropped him out of the blue and he said he tried.

I think I just talked about that. I think I just talked about that. She did not drop him out of the blue. So what was he doing to make her

what was in his nature to behave with her that may have contributed to her dumping him.

She did tell him that they were too different and that's really all he knows. She asked him. No, that's not that's all. Shh! That's all he told you.

That's not all he knows.

So your perspective is that somehow you caused him to kill himself. It sounds to me like he had serious psychological problems way before and this was semi-revenge

and semi- Escape.

Had nothing to do with you.

Can I tell you why I am feeling responsible?
