Family Ties
Growing up, I accidentally discovered a closely guarded family secret: my uncle’s suicide attempt during his early twenties. Despite this difficult past, my uncle has since built a fulfilling life with a loving spouse and two children. As I navigate through my own battle with persistent feelings of depression, traditional therapy hasn’t provided the desired results.
This leaves me questioning whether discussing this deeply personal experience with my uncle could be beneficial for both of us. However, initiating that conversation feels daunting and uncertain at this point.
