Not answering a phonecall from my sister resulted in my marriage ending and my son traumatized with not speaking to me in four years.

I have been speaking to a therapist for four years. My friends for the same about of time. I'm just sick of hearing the same answers and all it's all not helping.

I had an addict sister. She has been in and out of rehab for years. She'd been arrested several times. She would go clean and get another addiction. The last one being gambling. She would always come to me for things. Money, place to stay. Things like that. One day I decided I had enough and stopped contacting her until she got her shit together.

There was on Saturday when she tried to ring me around 20 times. I didn't pick up and just kept rejecting the call. So when she couldn't get through to me or my ex, she decided to call our son. He still came down stairs with her on the phone telling me that she sounded like there was something wrong. He kept trying to give me the phone telling me there was something really wrong with her. I yelled him that I had enough of her bullshit and she was just high or needed money. He yelled at me to just take the fucking phone. Before I knew it he started screaming and crying. He was saying that he thinks that his aunt killed herself. He locked himself in his room telling me he wants my wife to come home.

I called the police to go do a check on her. She shot herself in the bathroom.

My son wouldn't answer any phone call. He had nightmares about it for a while. He still does I think. He wouldn't talk to me at all.

My wife divorced me. She said she has to put Benji first. Benji didn't want to see me. He was 12 when this happened. He's 16 now. He's been living with my wife. He hasn't spoken to me in four years.

TL;DR: I didn't want to take a phonecall from my sister. She killed herself on the phone to my son. I lost my sister, son and marriage because of one phone call.
