Because I was gone from the house while she was at work that whole month, she had to hire a caregiver to take care of my dad (read: make sure he didn't fall down and have trouble getting back up).
I'm not actually sure that caregiver would've even been able to get my dad back to his feet in the event he fell; it's actually not very easy to do, unless you're really strong or have the necessary equipment (e.g. one of those cranes that has pulleys to lift a sheet that you've wrapped the person in). If the person is just dead weight (as they usually are, by the time they've been struggling on the floor for awhile trying to get up, and tired themselves out), it's incredibly hard to try to lift them even a few feet, to get them sitting on a chair.
Anyhoo, the state, and society in general, will no spare no expense to (1) make sure I don't kill myself, and (2) make sure I'm properly labeled as mentally ill for wanting to kill myself.
I think I've figured out, though, that it's pretty easy to get released from these places quickly, or keep from going in. You just deny having suicidal thoughts. I saw some chick at the hospital who had a bunch of slash marks on her arm and somehow BS'ed her way out of that place. I guess she came up with some alternative explanation for how her arm got cut. Gullible people will sometimes believe that stuff; I had a gf once who slashed her arm and then claimed that she passed out at a party and someone cut her arm up. I was naive enough back then to believe it, till she admitted she did it herself.
Idk how many cycles of this I need to go through, before people take the hint I'm tired of this life. Even if I'm going to reincarnate into the same kind of situation, at least I get to start over young and cute, as opposed to bald. I can just keep re-rolling every time I hit 25 and start Norwooding.
But you know why they want to keep me alive? Because it's bad propaganda if I die. It's going to encourage someone slightly more competent than me to throw in the towel as well. And then that will encourage someone else, and the dominoes will just keep falling, till eventually important people are dying. (Not to mention, any time you have a bunch of people leaving, whether by emigration or suicide, it just doesn't make your society look very good.)
The government likes to take advantage of the fact that people are sheep; and one way in which they are sheep, is that if no one around them is killing themselves, they probably won't; but once suicide becomes a trend, they want to join in.
Anyway, at least this time around, my mom won't be losing any money from the situation, since she's at home now. The coronavirus is eliminating a lot of waste by keeping people at home rather than pointlessly burning gas so they can go shuffle paperwork in an office somewhere.
