My dads cousin in the 1920’s.
I got a uncle kill himself recently.Seen him a few times a year and he doesn’t have any mental health issue
I’ve had some mentally ill relatives of mine just die suddenly with no explanation by the family. Hmm, it is scary to think that they were about my age then just died suddenly. The family would not say what happened to them but said they just passed away. Mental illness is pervasive in my family. I am lucky to be working and alive. Sometimes, I wonder how it would have been if I had been raised in another country and culture. Some countries and cultures don’t seem to accept mental illness as a biological illness. They think it is a shame, a choice, not like diabetes or cancer. I am glad to be American in this sense. However, even with some Americans who are ignorant, they have called me Hannibal Lecter and so on. It hurts but when I look at those who called me such names, they have something wrong with them too. I just take name-calling with a grain of salt now. I don’t stoop down at that level and call them names in return. I ignore them. So, I diverged from my original point that some of my mentally ill family members died suddenly without explanation from the family. I find it bone-chilling. And, I am grateful for my situation.

He had been there for a while for killing his dad.
