Perserverance Throughout

I was really amazed by the conversation Brent had with his mother about killing himself. Dr. Rubenstein had always told him he had to tell her. I never thought he would do it he was very assertive: No. As he speaks with his mom, he transmits to us the sadness and depressing mood.

This conversation really touched me, and made me sympathize with the scenario. I felt my heart crumble when I read, “Yes, honey, I’m sorry I didn’t know you were so sad”. She uses tautology to emphasize it isn’t his fault and she didn’t know he was so sad.

Depressing yet shocking scene shows the progress Brent has gone though. He is much more mature and can analyze things better. It has shown how he has grown, I never thought he was going to have the guts to confess to his mom it wasn’t the first time he tried to kill himself.

What he did takes real courage. To accept you did a mistake and talk about it is not easy. Being hospitalized really did help him think thoroughly the situation. I admire Brent for this. He really did change and used the tools life threw at him, to pave the way in the right direction.

He also has all the support he needs especially from his mother. She never gets tired of telling him how much she loves him. I believe this is very important in his recovery. She has been there for him throughout the whole procedure. This is really meaningful, and is what is getting Brent out of the whole he got himself into. She is his right hand helping him dig his way out. She is always telling him the importance of him in everyone life, “And know that we love you so much, and we never want to lose you”.
