I ask myself that every day. But long story short, he suffered from depression since middle school. That was when he used the "s" word. I immediately got us into counseling, private, and family and whatever treatments they suggested, we did. During this time, his father thought it would be a great idea to stop contact with him all together. He continued to improve and was very stable for a few more years.
Then, with ongoing bullying from school and online, he still did very good. His 2 friends were at my house every weekend for several years. They didn't do drugs or anything. Just played around online and vid games and goofed off. Towards the end, he wanted to go back to counseling because he was not able to eat and he couldn't sleep. During this, he got involved with a girl whos parents were a fucking nightmare and had her moved away after they found emails about her supposedly being pregnant. He waited it out because her 18th birthday was coming up. The psycho parents caused us to have to move a ways out of town because they would stalk us and show up all irate and crazy.
With a few months left before her birthday, he was getting terrible threats that they'd kill him, rape his sister, etc. Thought it was again, the gf's parents but I found out just last spring that it was a bunch of ADULTS who did this to him over the xbox continuously. He still kept going and he'd show me any harassing emails and such as they came. He didn't tell me about the xbox part cuz he knew I'd take it away. The night before he did this, and harassment orders pending from the bitches parents, which was a nightmare in itself, the gf called to tell him she had another boyfriend and was really cruel about it. She didn't even know what we'd all been through during those months. He was devestated beyond belief. I tried to convince him that 3 days it would be much better, etc etc. He said nothing about what he was going to do. He did ask me 3 times what time I had to go to the courthouse though.
He didn't go to school that morning and I didn't know it. Searched when he didn't come home from school for a note or something. Found him in a room downstairs where he knew the other kids would never go. I tried to make that short but there's alot to it. His note is on that site. The two people that would be hit the hardest, me and his sister, were not mentioned in the note. Goes to show that they can't think of that in that moment. If he had, he couldn't have gone through with it.
