Anyone else's families refuse to acknowledge their suicide attempt?
I tried to commit suicide when I was 14 and didn't succeed. I took some psychiatric medicine in the cupboard and took like about 6? I didn't know how much would kill me and I have dysphagia so it was already difficult to take 6 pills in a row, I can't imagine multipel bottles! Anyways I was found dying on the floor and it was pretty obviously a suicide attempt except for I didn't leave a note because I just wanted it over with and didn't want to leave a dorky note.
Its almost the 6 year anniversary (I don't celebrate I just remember it) and my family still refuses to acknowledge I tried to kill myself. The current "theory" (what's there to theorize???) is that I tried to calm myself down by taking 6 pills because I was scared of a Zoom meeting...okay? It's to avoid responsibility, I think, because they were making my life completely unlivable. The day I tried to kill myself, my mother and her daughter were trying to get me arrested for grand larceny because the daughter's money went "missing" (she later admitted she lied because she wanted me gone, mother never admitted but I overheard it when they were crafting their plan), and just a couple months before my mother tried to get me arrested/committed/expelled by calling the school saying I was a school shooter and I was going to kill everyone (she discovered I was a lesbian, that's what triggered this). Please note that it was in 2019 when a whole bunch of schools were being shot up and that even THINKING of doing such a thing would have you in prison...luckily no one believed it and they let me explain myself.
Anyone else experience their family refusing to acknowledge their suicide attempt, whether it's to avoid responsibility or some other odd reason?
