Oh boy I can relate to this! I am a child abuse survivor and no matter what "you kept your business at home". Sorry, after a while you gotta kill that sentiment and take care of yourself and do what you gots to do. I think I am considered the "black sheep" (pardon the pun) of my family because I have been in therapy/counseling. I can tell you that had I not sought counseling, I would be a 6 foot under statistic.
In 1992, my brother was almost a statistic. He survived a self inflicted gun shot wound (he was 20 at the time)
There was an article in Ebony in 2002 about minorities and suicide. I was working for a mental health facility at the time and gave the article to our medical director.
