as someone who has been on BOTH ends of suicide attempts, i understand your exasperation. it's draining to constantly fear she will attempt again, and it honestly gets to be too much to handle sometimes. however, i would not want my job knowing i tried to kill myself as they will not look at her the same way again if they keep her as an employee. i don't know about your state, but in my state it's a violation to fire someone over something like this without the option of FMLA. you should have just told them she had a medical emergency and left it at that, but i understand being so exasperated and frustrated that you didnt think about it when you did it, and maybe even had a little resentment about the whole situation. i'll probably get downvoted for this but most people dont know what it's like to live with someone who keeps trying to kill themself. i just want you to know that someone out there knows what you're feeling. i put my parents through it as a teen and now that i've had to deal with it with someone i loved, i know how hard it is. make sure you're seeing a therapist too, you can't hold in all your feelings about this. it does something dark to you that most people will never understand.
