For the last week my father has been hallucinating and hearing voices. He went to the doctor and they told him it could be his new meds and he needed to go back in today. This morning my mother called and told me that he shot himself. This is Thor, his Newfie puppy. He's just beside himself with grief. I don't know what I hope to find by posting here. But I needed to tell someone.

So sorry for your devastating loss OP. My heart goes out to you all. Comfort each other, spend time with Thor. He's grieving too.

Be strong man, be the man your father taught you to be and take care of his wife. The Internet loves you.

The pupper may be able to help you feel better. And kitties are a necessity. Maybe if there's a pound or shelter nearby, you can volunteer

Keep talking about it and don't shut down, or dodge help. Don't forget to give that dog all the love in the world.

This is why people with mental illness should absolutely not be allowed to own firearms - person with a mental illness

Thanks everyone. I'm with my mom now. A crime scene cleanup crew is coming now so we are just waiting. We are all in shock and just sitting.

I'm not a certified therapist but I used to be a peer counselor. Feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to.

How tragic for both of you. Your mother must be beside herself. I married a widower, and he had PTSD from losing his wife. I hope you

and your mom can have some counseling to help you support each other and deal with this tragedy. My best thoughts to you.

I wasn't expecting this much support at all. My mom is in shock. The cleanup crew is charging 38k to clean the room And Thor is sound asleep

What the fucking fuck? How can they get away with trying to pull an amount like that from people in a situation like the one you're in.

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Exactly. They get away with it by saying they can charge the homeowners insurance.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That's understandable and probably typical. But bringing up the price (and such a large price at that) to a grieving family is not cool.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The worst part is they said it would be 10k and then once the contracts are signed they said oh it's 38k.

Right bunch of bastards. Sorry for your loss OP. Did your dad suffer from depression or other issues in the past?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

A first-year lawyer could get you out of that contract. You're emotionally compromised at signing. That qualifies as duress.
