What's yr worldview?

Suicidal AGAIN.

He divorced his wife. His 2 sons and 2 daughters, all adults now, does not acknowledge him as their father. "My father has already passed away," they said. A typical response from children who hates their father. He apparently has a 12 years old daughter in Indonesia. He must have had extra marital affairs. However, he doesn't acknowledge this other women. He called her a "friend".
His natural parents are angry with him for divorcing his wife for another women. "I do not have the courage to contact them", he said. = No family support. He has no house to stay in. He stays in his workplace when he's on duty for the night. When he doesn't, he lodges at his friend's workplace. He told his friend about his suicidal tendencies, his friend told him to drown himself instead of jump. =No proper safety net from friends. Obviously, he has no money. =Financial difficulty. His one eye is blind, and his another eye has serious internal bleeding. = No health.

He has made a will to give his 12 years old daughter his CPF money. All planned, well planned. He wanted to jump at a specific place and time last week, but he does not have the courage. Today, he replied he does not know if he'll appear on the next appointment when he was asked and added that if he doesn't, it would mean tt he has committed suicide.

Qn: If you are one of the the grown-up children, will you give him the support he needed (financial and/or emotional) upon knowing his current situation, despite of his past misdeeds?

(Nope, I won't ask if you will jump if you were him :P)

For me, I guess I will, at least the minimal to keep him alive.
My col said no, but will refer him to social services. =.= tt's herself? haha. prob not lah.

A typical kid's response from me is: "Forgive him." I knew this always sounds so easy than done, but then again, I am one of those kids who have family problems. :) But how do I forgive you say? Its the love from God.

Hmmm ... hard to answer this question uh. For me, i think i
need some time to forgive bah. But i am quite soft-hearted so won't angry for too long, will still forgive. Either way, he is still the the Father no matter how bad he is, he should be given a second chance to make up for his mistake. If he really jumps off the building or drown at the sea, he will have no chance to make up for his past mistake. This is what i think larh =D
