Well, this almost made me cry. How does someone take their own life? They've run out of every bit of hope there is. I'm so sorry for you, your friend, her family, and the world because you are right. I can't blame all men, but they seem to deal better with everyday life, and we naturally take on a lot of responsibility. We were brought up that way. My grandmother lived with us so my mom had it made, in my opinion. It was almost like my grandma gave up her life to be with us. And my mom was on antidepressants all her life since I can remember.
