Sorry man...but that's a dumb article.
He says he stood at the edge of a high bridge...
"...so after months of suicidal thoughts, I found myself on a bridge. I walked to the edge and closed my eyes. I readied myself, waiting for a final feeling that would push me forward. But then I thought about my son and felt him pulling me back from the edge, saying, Don’t do this, Dad. This is not how it ends.
That was all I needed to go home and never come back."
Could have just as easily read...
...so I put the barrel in my mouth,
and closed my eyes. I readied myself, waiting for a final feeling that would have allowed me to pull the trigger. But then I thought about my son and felt him pulling the gun away, saying, Don’t do this, Dad. This is not how it ends.
That was all I needed to put the gun away and never pick it up for self harm again.
