People are upset that he's gone, but those same people don't seem to give a shit about the people he left behind. He had six kids, and the youngest were twins born in 2011 per his Wikipedia page. That means that two children, who are either five or six years old, now don't have a father.

When you have young children, your happiness doesn't matter anymore. To kill yourself and leave them without a father, that's so fucking selfish it's unbelievable. People post "oh my god I'm like crying I loved his music!", when they should be saying "I can't believe he would do that to those poor fucking kids".

They, his children, are the ones who deserve your heartfelt sorrow. Not the guy who made music and left his children without a father. Fuck.


This is the post I'm referring to. You say now that you understand why he felt the way he felt but it seemed like that all you were concerned about was the fact that he left his kids behind. And it's perfectly understandable to be frustrated about that, especially when most people who commit suicide don't have nearly that many kids. But as someone who deals with inner demons all the time it aggravates the hell out of me (yes, even on the internet) when people act self-righteous about mental issues and suicide. I know what it's like to have episodes when absolutely nothing is going right and every little thought creates conflict with another one, making living a bit less enjoyable. Do you?

That's a legitimate question, as I don't know. But your posts gave off the impression that you didn't

Personally, no. As far as mental issues go, aside from a touch of narcissism, I've thankfully been blessed on that front. Sadly though, I've spent a very long time around people that do. I understand(as much as one can from the outside, admittedly) the waking hell that people with depression go through. People with suicidal thoughts go through some awful, horrible shit, and I certainly don't envy them.

The point I was trying to make when I said "When you have young children, your happiness doesn't matter anymore." was... poorly worded, admittedly. The way I've always felt is, when you bring a child into this world, you first and foremost responsibility is to live for that child. They didn't do anything, and to suddenly end your life and leave that innocent person without a father or mother is just an awful thing to do. I came across as saying "you don't matter", but what I really meant is "That child matters more then you."

I suppose my annoyance comes not at the fact that people are sad that he died. It comes from the fact that, while that is certainly a sad thing, there are other people who we should feel even sadder for.
