cut my wrists, took a bunch of sleeping pills

My mother's response to my attempts.."she just wants attention"

My response when my son ran away and she said "he just wants attention" My answer was...I can give him attention

Attention is what every person deserves, without having to attempt suicide.

Attention does not have some sort of mathematical equation..if I give you this I must take away that...attention is eternal
