All in Good Faith
Many thanks for your thoughts. My thoughts...yes. My father's real experiences...yes. Apologies for the format. I could have sworn there were paragraphs when I pasted it in. Sorry, only moderatley computer literate.

Nice. I always think with a story like this it's good technique to leave a little doubt hanging in the air. This certainly does that.

A well worn plot but made more interesting by making the characters children. Could do with a little tidying up.

Poignant piece. How can such a short work leave me feeling dispirited?....but it did. If that was the objective, it succeeded.

Bitter
I take it that you have little / any respect for such people. I don't blame you ; paint the picture.

Frustrating
Nice and neat. Well told but as I indicate, being agnostic and believing no relationship is worth suicide I struggle to identify with his motivation. The impending doom and gathering bitter irony intensified in the second half of the piece after he decided not to end himself. This was handled quite well.

Rotting Away
I liked the story. Maybe lacking the classical structure for some people but nevertheless effective. Short, sharp and thought provoking, perhaps just what it was supposed to be.
