Hey @stepside hows it going bro? hope all is well. If you found weed on your boy I would sit him down and show him the good and bad points of weed. not necessarily tell him what you do, but explain to him all about it. Let him know your up for chatting about these things and you wont get mad if he is honest with you about it, Maybe this could be a way of bonding and showing him he can trust you no matter what?
About the gun thing, its a gun thing to us, but a much more serious concern for you and your family bro. The last ten years I have lost about 15 friends I grew up with to suicide, its a nasty thing, leaving all the crap behind for your family and no answers as to why.
My friend killed himself by throwing the rope up, he sent his mum a text before he did it saying its my time to go and that he loved her. She never got that text when he sent it, was it a cry for help, for his mum to go save him? we will never know.
as when these things happen, police come in take all their tech away with them to make sure there was no threatening emails texts etc. so when they took his mobile phone, they switched it off till they were going to look at it.
2 weeks later, 1 week after he was buried, the police turned on his phone at the police station, and yes, the message he sent but his mother didn't get at the time was still pending. so when they switched it on it sent. His poor mum, 2 weeks after he died got a text from him stating all the above and it sent her over the edge.
Exactly one month after his death, his girlfriend was found hanging in her bedroom, with a note saying she could not live without him and she was sorry and had to go be with him in heaven. This was devastating to everyone involved.
2 funerals in one month.
6 months after he died his mum and dad and younger sister went on holiday to get over the madness which had occurred several months before, no more than being 24 hours of them being on holiday, my mother gets wrapped out of bed to the news that his older brother had hung himself while his parents were on holiday. My dad went to the house to perform CPR while the ambulance service arrived.
My dad told me it was the most horrific thing he had ever seen in his life. His eye had popped out of its socket due to the pressure of the rope. My dad will never get that image out of his head ever.
I guess I'm putting all this down here tonight to let you guys know that suicide is the worst possible thing you can leave your family with. I'm just getting over this mess now as they were all my friends. I'm not asking for you guys to feel sorry for me either all I want is you guys to think before you act. Come on here, chat in this forum there is always someone around to pm or chat to on here.
Rant over.
Peace and love always.
