What I Learnt From My Wife's Several Suicide Attempts: 1. Parents... by Mordanconquer: 4:14pm On Nov 11, 2023
1. Parents should be mindful of how they raise their children!

In the wake of the heartbreaking news about the woman who gained fame in the "Mummy Be Calming Down" video and her subsequent demise, I find myself compelled to open up about my own experiences and the lessons learned from my wife's struggles with suicide attempts. Following the news that the woman's husband was arrested and some of the comments I perused, I was like this is what people would have said if God had not intervened after my wife attempted to take her life the second time in our marriage by cutting her wrist so she could bleed out.

I saw a comment blaming the husband for not noticing the wife was depressed till she eventually committed suicide under his watch and I was just shaking my head as I reflected on my experience trying to save my wife from depression and suicide.

That aside, this month alone I saw 2 different WhatsApp statuses from 2 of my contacts contemplating suicide and I'm like this is it I need to share my experience so people can learn from how my wife eventually got delivered from depression and suicidal thoughts after battling with it for 24 years. I'm going to be sharing all the lessons I learned with the hope that they will serve as a source of inspiration and guidance that will save someone.

The number one lesson for me is "Parents should be mindful of how they raise their children" to mitigate the risk of depression or suicidal tendencies as I found out my wife grew up with depression at a very tender age. Parents play a crucial role in shaping the emotional well-being of their children, and being mindful of their upbringing can significantly impact their mental health.

Firstly, the childhood environment significantly influences a child's emotional development. A nurturing and supportive home, where children feel loved and valued, fosters a sense of security that acts as a buffer against the challenges life may present. In contrast, an environment characterized by neglect or emotional turmoil can contribute to feelings of isolation and despair, potentially leading to mental health issues later in life. Therefore, parents must be mindful of the emotional atmosphere they cultivate at home.

Secondly, effective communication within the family plays a critical role in preventing depression and suicidal tendencies in children. When parents establish an open and non-judgmental space for dialogue, children are more likely to express their thoughts and emotions freely. This communication helps parents identify signs of distress early on, allowing for timely intervention and support. In contrast, a lack of communication or an environment where emotions are dismissed can lead to a sense of alienation, making it difficult for children to cope with their internal struggles.

Furthermore, the expectations parents place on their children can significantly impact their mental health. Unrealistic academic or behavioral standards may create undue stress and anxiety, potentially leading to feelings of inadequacy. By setting realistic expectations and encouraging a healthy balance between achievement and personal well-being, parents contribute to the development of resilient individuals who are better equipped to navigate life's challenges without succumbing to the pressures that can contribute to depression or suicidal thoughts. In essence, the way parents raise their children profoundly influences their psychological resilience and overall mental health outcomes.

You are still mising and cutting hand from the Truth. You dey fear say dem go come do you evil as dem take do your wife?

The Truth that you are talking small small like say you dey fear is that HER PARENTS ARE EVIL!

And she is probably one of God's children (children who are naturally good and disposed to doing the good like Abel, so i call her Abella), God's seeds.

But devils, cannot stand them. They hate them with murder full hatred and they have a natural desire to kill them. For this goodly seeds dey always dey pepper dem no matter how these children love them.

So, devils kill them directly. And when they can't kill them directly because they saw God for God protects them, they kill dem with torments and torture so that they would kill themselves. And this mostly happens to the goodly girl child. And rape is always in the mix of torture.

So, my brother, no dey talk am small small, dey use small small bend bend English like "mitigate, mindful" dey reduce the Truth.

The parents know what they are doing and they intend to do it and it is them who God was talking to when He Said "Woe to he who should hurt one of these little ones".

They are a blessing and Life to those who have them or a Curse and Damnation.

Hope you are takiing care of her, rubbish, hope you are loving her with everything and doing only good to her? If you cheat on her, you would become like her parents and hell fire is what you must get for there is nothing like repentance for anyone who destroys them. God will never forgive it.
