Babies and toddlers

My little boy is 11 months and 1 week and he has been walking for about three weeks and getting into any thing he possibly can.
I would like to find better ways to handle this because I am run off my feet and cannot relax for a second till he is asleep.

Suicide

My younger brother took his own life almost three years ago. He was happily married with two young children and had just bought his second home. He was co owner in a sucessful business and things seemed to be really going well for him. No one saw it coming and there were no signs.

Research shows that every day in Australia, no less than FIVE Australian men will take their own lives.Out of every five suicides, 4 are men. - mainly in the 25-44 range.They’re for the most part normal healthy men in the prime of their lives.

Here are some sites on Suicide and Suicide Prevention.
