[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 232399, member: 43589"] Galdiator, who are you to judge me? All of us here are doing the same thing. You sound a bit hypocritical. Much rather see my son improved that see him take his life. Went through that with my brother already. Suicides caused by depression are not so fun to deal with, especially when it is your own child.
