Wait, why did he end up getting lynched? Was his business opportunity with the mob or a gang? Did he owe lots of money to the wrong people? I'm sorry to hear about that situation, he seems like a great guy who died in vain. Your dad was a stand up guy.


Not sure if you didn't read the whole thing or if you're a fucking cunt.

Anyways, that is honestly one of the most nightmarish stories i've ever heard. I'm incredibly sorry for your loss; I'm glad that you're able to write about it and that you held yourself together.

Respect.

Thank you so much for sharing the video and your story. I lost my dad the same way 4 year ago this saturday and reading your story brought up all of those same feelings and emotions again. It is nice to hear a story from someone that rings so true to what I've felt and am feeling. Thanks again and God Bless


Hey I'm really sorry to hear that. I genuinely hope everything works out.

thanks everybody for reading and leaving thoughtful comments. it means a lot to me, probably more than you guys think

between then and now, my family has been through a lot. my mom and sister have broken down many times. but during the hardest times, they had a significant other to help them cope. I on the other hand, coped another way; I got helplessly addicted to drugs (see my other blogs).

I think a part of me still blames my mom and myself, but I try not to put it on anyone. I know it's not any of our faults.

IMO it sounds like you were exactly the son you needed to be for your father. No matter what my son did in the past, if he told me what you told him the day before, that would have been all that mattered to me.


Thanks...that actually makes me feel slightly more relieved

Really appreciate you guys for not being insensitive about this... I mean it's the internet, you guys coulda said anything and gotten away with it but chose to be supportive.

love you TL!

Did your dad not know that insurances don't pay out for suicides?

Ouch bro! Tough feels!

The best thing you can do when someone is gone, is to think only of the great times you shared with that person, aslong as you do that then everything will feel that little bit better.

Tough way to go very sad and touching story. Wish you all the best in the future!

This is horrible, but I'm not sure I understand. Doesn't life insurance not pay if the cause of death is suicide?

Just now i also saw this blog. I've always liked your blogs, danmooj1. May i ask about your sister, how do you think she is feeling?

He then walked into my sister’s room to give her a hug, but my sister was her old bitchy self and shrugged him off. I heard her whining. He just smiled and left.


I can't imagine "leaving" things like that with your own dad.

My condolences.

Most policies suicide clauses are for 1-2 years supposedly. Least in the US.

I'm sure my dad did his research before killing himself. He was a pretty smart man.
Nice name btw, really like the show

I live in the US and the insurance payed around $200,000.
My mom told me she was going to save it for my "wedding" and college tuition.

Then she invested all of it in a small company. A guy she met recently (weren't dating, her friend's friend's friend or some shit, he also knew the source of the money) took advantage of her vulnerability and basically convinced her to go all in with this investment as if it were a guaranteed success. Told my mom so many times it's not a good idea... I mean it's pretty obvious it'd be a bad idea to anyone. But as she said, what do I know? I'm just a kid.

Then the dude ran off with 200 grand that my dad cashed in his life for.

Thanks Grettin. Hope you continue reading and hope they're happier threads

She blamed herself a lot in the beginning and I'm sure it still bothers her the times she thinks about it.
But she was just being her bitchy old self. Can't really blame her for being herself.

She was always a real bitch to me and my dad

Jesus, what an awful story. You did all you could for him as a son. Sometimes it is really really hard for a man's pride to be unable to provide for his family. I am going to avoid saying anything disrespectful about your mother now, but yeah. I feel for your dad and for you. Keep your chin up, be strong, and know that it's not always about how a story starts, but about how it ends. Don't let anything hold you back from your potential.
