Members Lucky Posted January 8, 2011 Members Share Posted January 8, 2011 Not that death is ruling my day, but this article bout the death by suicide of a 27 year old computer programmer who was raised in a fundamentalist christian family and sexually raped for years fascinates, mostly because of the calm explanation he gives in a lengthy suicide note of what it is like to be haunted for the rest of your life by the horrors of the sexual injustice perpetrated on him: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/07/bill-zeller-dead-princeto_n_805689.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RA1 Posted January 8, 2011 Members Share Posted January 8, 2011 I really don't know what to make of this note. I am appalled by the circumstances delineated. I hate to lose an intelligent young man, gay or straight. I find it very difficult to assess whether this was a mental defect or an environmental one. I don't mean to be cruel. I just don't know. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headline you used did not make me connect the article, thus I missed your thread. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EXPAT Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 As I said in the other thread, this note really made me want to really evaluate those people close to me and maybe not so close to me to see what signs I may be missing of internal suffering. Everyone has secrets and sometimes we don't want to get close enough to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
