Context: A young adult tells his mother that he’s depressed and that life is meaningless and that he wants to die (suicide is not directly mentioned but implied). Then the mother proceeds to express “regretting giving birth to you” directly to that young adult.

(That young adult is me)

    What is the concern about hotlines? Are you worried people may be recording and using that against you somehow? What you linked to doesn’t really mention hotlines.

      The current US right-wing rhetoric is that (btw their words, not mine): “Immigrants are (a) violent dangerous criminals, or (b) drug addicts, or ( c ) welfare queens, or (d) mentally ill”

      That sort of rhetoric, combined with the fact that hotlines are not anonymous; This is just asking for trouble.

      I doubt even my (naturalized) citizenship would shield me from being persecuted by this fascist traitor in the white house.
