Gone fishin' ... I love you, son.

Manhattan resident Martha Stevens can talk calmly about her son, Ian Atchison, who died five years ago this March. She will talk about him to anyone who will listen and this fact, she said, makes many people uncomfortable.
"If Ian had died of cancer or cystic fibrosis, people would be like, 'Way to go, Martha, you're going after the thing that killed your son,'" Stevens said. "But because he died of suicide, people don't want to hear about it, and that angers me."
