Do Your Part

I have read this wonderful book "in quite desperation" it's pretty deep is some parts, but very well written. There are 2 parts, the first part is about Stuart Matis. What wonderful parents he had. He was one of the first I read about when I was trying to find information to comfort myself. He was such a wonderful person. He ended up committing suicide, what a sad loss not just for his family but also society. I wish I could have gotten to know him. I also wish this about my son, he holds so much back,in fearing of judgment from everyone including family. I don't judge him I just want to understand. I want him to feel safe is telling me whatever he wants to. I can't express enough how he has made me a better person, by taking the time to understand another view. I use to be so closed minded. It would have been a lot easier to be angry, then you really don't need to dig deep into your heart to see what another is going through. I still cry, but my tears are more now for him then myself.He is reminded everyday that he is different by people, books, signs etc... and not in a positive way. I can't make this go away but what I can do, is not be a part of the jokes,rude comments and let people know that they might be someone in their mist that are struggling. I hope they won't be blamed for someone taking their life, because of something they said. Remember for every 1 your "useless" comments you need 10 your a "great person" comments. It really adds up and I wouldn't want to be the last straw.
