What is happening to Sinead ?? Someone should pull her back from the brink
Sinead O'Connor has taken to Facebook to communicate with her family once again Monday morning. On Sunday, the singer threatened suicide in a distressing post on the site before being located in Dublin. Then Monday, she wrote an open letter to her family again, lashing out at them. The alarming social media activity comes after an alleged recent squabble to see her youngest children, Shane Lunny, 11, and Yeshua Bonadio,8. Why she has been denied access to them is not something we could find accurate information on. In her latest post seemingly written from a hospital on Monday, O'Connor said that her children came to visit her in the hospital while she was on "life support" but that they left before she woke up.
"Please why are you doing these things to me?? I need you. I need your love. I can't manage what's being done to me,"
O'Connor, 48, wrote on her wall, calling out her oldest children, Jake Reynolds, 28, and Roisin Waters, 19. "Come and tell me why this is all happening. Come and tell Me I'm loved ... Been missing you all for weeks," the post continues. "Now I am [utterly] alone. Please. Please love me. Please come to the hospital and spend time with me and help Fix all this. Please. I'm. Begging you. Don't leave me so frightened and alone. Don't treat me like I'm not loved and am worth nothing. Please. If you love me even a little please come and be with me and help me understand what's happening ... Help me [instead] of punishment . Please please I beg you come see me and help." This incident is not the first in which the singer – who has admitted she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder from an abusive childhood – has reportedly attempted to take her life. According to reports, a series of suicidal Tweets in 2011 warranted a visit from police.
Sinead was abused as a child , was the central figure in a custody battle between her parents and led a very unstable life in Ireland, growing up. She has been diagnosed with various emotional and mental disorders, including bipolarism. She has been married four times and has four children with assorted fathers. A very successful singer/songwriter, her career has been checkered with good and, often, very bad decisions but she always came back and re-invented herself.
Sinead has supported many, and sometimes controversial, causes. She spoke out against sexual abuse of children in the Catholic priesthood and the cover-ups by the church. She became an ordained priest to add weight to her cause.
QUOTE:
“I find it quite laughable that they’re talking about revolutionizing the church when, in fact, they’re equating female ordination and pedophilia.“ (For those who don’t stay abreast of papal news, in July 2010, the Vatican, under Benedict, revised its in-house rules to deal with sex-abuse cases within the church. In the process, it inexplicably labeled the ordaining of women priests a “grave crime” that was subject to the same punishment as clerics who commit pedophilia.) Sinead has always had the courage to speak out, in spite of public opinion.
She has had some serious health concerns and recently had major surgery, which may have added to her current emotional distress.
Sinead worried everybody on Sunday when she shared a concerning Facebook post that said that she had taken an overdose.
Although the singer was found ‘safe and sound’ yesterday, she is clearly still struggling to cope and took to her social media account to share another emotional post. Sinead slams her children, 28-year-old Jake, 19-year-old Roisin, 11-year-old Shane, eight-year-old Yeshua, and their fathers - claiming that they have not been supportive of her. Writing to almost 598,000 Facebook followers, Sinead rants: “Jake, Roisin, Jr., frank, Donal, Eimear, I never wanna see you again. You stole my sons from me. “Then you had hypocrisy to come to hospital and then not be here when I wake and not pick up phone? I’m sh*t to you. You’re dead to me. You killed your mother. You stole my sons. You left me alone for twelve weeks!
Police were called to Sinead’s aid after she posted a similarly emotional post over the weekend, with the 48-year-old star claiming that she had checked into a hotel in Ireland under a different name and had taken an overdose.She wrote: “There is only so much any woman can be expected to bear. What was done to me this week was appalling cruelty. By my husband, my family, by St Pats and by An Gardai Siochana, by my son, Jake and by Donal Lunny and Angela singleton, by my son’s girlfriend, his friends… after everything I’ve been put through and been forced to go through alone. “And punished for having to go through since I had the surgery on August 26th. Or since Shane became unwell in March, This week has broken me. The withholding of my babies from me without any sound reason by their fathers, Frank and Donal, and by Jake and the rest of my family, is a horrific set of betrayals. “And has been going on since I had my surgery. The last two nights finished me off. I have taken an overdose. There is no other way to get respect. I am not at home, I’m at a hotel, somewhere in ireland, under another name If I wasn’t posting this, my kids and family wouldn’t even find out. I don’t matter a shred to anyone. No one has come near me. I’ve died a million times already with the pain of it. “So yeah.. Strangers like me.. But my family don’t value me at all. They wouldn’t know if I was dead until weeks from now if I wasn’t f*cking informing them now. well done guys, you’ve finally got rid of me. “Sorry the penny didn’t drop sooner. I’m an idiot. When you planned to get me away from my babies did you plan for me losing my mind over it? It being the final straw? For how you gonna explain why I died? We just hope that Sinead gets all of the help that she needs at what sounds like a very difficult time for the star. She, no doubt, is mercurial, eccentric, driven and hard to understand, as most artists are, but she seems very alone and her family should be there to help her.
Too bad Amy Winehouse isn't here to help her There's a whole lot more going on here than we know. She needs very intensive counseling. I'm not sure it's a good idea for her kids to be around her right now. She needs to get help, but most of the time it's easier to lash out at everyone on social media. That doesn't require any work. It shows a shocking lack of understanding that so many people are disapproving that she is crying out for support. I'm not sure I understand how it is selfish to hope that your own family would be there for you in your greatest time of need. It also shows a lack of understanding of depression to think that 'professional help' is the silver bullet solution. Depression is not an illness that you can solve by merely throwing medication and a psychiatrist at it. Great Post Love PIC
Jeannie , It shows a shocking lack of understanding that so many people are disapproving that she is crying out for support.

Depression is not an illness that you can solve by merely throwing medication and a psychiatrist at it.
I feel that she is one of those people who really suck the life out of people. Her family did visit but i am sure they have to work or go back home and tend to their family etc. But She seems like she is the type that is just constantly needy and asking for way too much attention. There is a time when people get really tired of it and no longer want to help because they see that they are not helping themselves and just keep taking but never giving back.
This may be her illness speaking but it is still emotionally abusive and not healthy for her children who are ages 28, 19, 11, and 8. For many loving families, there may come a time when they can not heal the wounds of trauma or fix the illness that has ravished a love one and others must be called to do what they can to bring comfort and a possible return to health to a loved one, and to those who suffer with them. This is one of those cases. I can't speak for the process in Ireland, but knowing how difficult it is to get help for an unstable adult here (especially one who's resistant), I don't envy their situation. So sad. Just my humble opinion
hi PIC I totally agree with your take on this post. I think her family may have become frustrated with her many problems and turned their backs on her. I also think they may consider her too unstable to have access to her youngest children. what a sad lady. She really does need help. Luv PIC
Humble, It is obvious the lady is just out of control now and very unstable. She desperately needs professional help and some sort of caregiver. Her family should see to that. I understand what you are saying about sucking the life out of loved ones. People with very deep seated problems do that even if they are unaware of it. It looks as if Shinead has done just that to her family and they are out of patience or emotionally exhausted. It would not be right to expose her younger kids to her meltdown. I also see people here who have lived off Sinead's largesse and fame and have enjoyed financial security riding her gravy train, ex husbands included. Now the train is slowing to a stop, everyone is jumping off. She should not be abandoned now, of all times, because she will eventually commit suicide and her family will have to live with the role they played in it. There has always been a stigma surrounding mental illness and depression in Ireland. People with obvious problems are shunned and just considered to be failures. And getting treatment is still difficult in spite of recent reforms. As they have amply demonstrated in the past, old attitudes die hard in Ireland. The dichotomy is, that for some people, the greater the success, the farther the fall from grace. Thank you for your comment Friendly neighborhood Genie
