@Dreamy being hurt by your own flesh and blood hits the hardest, my children only talk to me when they want something.
I don't know enough about what happened to give an accurate comment, but I'll try.
You can't control the actions of others, you can control how you respond though, your perspective.
The past is the past, we do things at the time, based on how we feel and what we know at that time, and unfortunately with those same thoughts and knowledge we would all do the same thing as it's what we felt had to be done at that time. It's not until afterwards, that we see the results, gain more knowledge and insight that we feel regret, shame and guilt.
Don't feel bad for having emotions, feeling sorrow and regret, you're now trying your best to continue, to not repeat those mistakes, that you've learnt from what's happened.
As I said, you can't control the actions of others, only how you react to it.
Be gentle on yourself, you're doing your best.

@Dreamy I know this is hard, but please, sleep on those urges, That's what got me through a few days ago. These feelings and emotions will pass, don't act upon them, more people care about you than you know

Thanks for letting me know @Dreamy. What are your plans now that you have tried Lifeline? Could you try another service like Beyond Blue or Suicide Call Back Service?

Im going to try and get my hair cut today!!!! remember it is down to my hips so this is a huge decision to make!might do something radical i am not sure will let you know later today.
