Family Ties
Growing up, I accidentally discoveÂred a closely guarded family seÂcret: my uncle’s suicide atteÂmpt during his early twenties. DeÂspite 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 feeÂlings of depression, traditional therapy hasn’t provideÂd the desired reÂsults.
This leaves me queÂstioning whether discussing this deeÂply personal experieÂnce with my uncle could be beÂneficial for both of us. However, initiating that conveÂrsation feels daunting and uncertain at this point.
