In reply to the discussion: Do you personally know anyone who's committed suicide? [View all]Sympthsical
(10,411 posts)Two of the cousins were step brothers. After the second suicide, the parents basically dissolved into drug addiction, alcoholism, and mutual violent domestic abuse. A lot of us tried to intervene at first, but they were both completely psychologically broken at that point. It got to the point where cops were at the house regularly.
Long story short, the husband shot his wife in the back of the head one day and hid her body in the recycling bin in the garage for a week. Then he told her family that she was vacationing in Vegas. Our best guess was that he was blitzed out of his mind.
But yeah, he's gone for life now.
One of the siblings (there were four) lost his brother to suicide, then his mother to murder, then his father dropped dead of a heart attack like three months later. Basically, his whole family. He found Jesus hard core in the few years since. He's really nice though. We speak every few months. Incredibly nice guy. Awful family history.
