I don’t get the pizza run. Your wife is mentally unstable for the past 8 months, cannot work due to her mental status, attends an intense 5 day a week program for her illness and you have been told to not leave her alone with the children and yet you go out for 25 minutes to get take out??? WTF?

We obviously don’t know the details or circumstances, so this is all speculation—but you would be surprised at how quickly things just become a part of your life. Your family member is, for example, suicidal. You spend months and months on edge, vigilant. Vigilance becomes routine. Nothing happens, day in and day out. You let down your guard for a brief moment and it all goes to shit.
We don’t need to sit here in judgement. We don’t know what his life, what their lives, were like.

This really is a great analogy.

You likely described it exactly as it played out

I’m sorry if that is something you had to deal with yourself ( suicidal family member). It is true. It is too much for a few family members to constantly be vigilant and yet there isn’t anyplace they can go so what do you do?

Of course I don’t know their personal lives but I have gotten these facts from the multiple news stories over the past couple of days. They must be based in some facts?

Can you share the news source for this?

It is from several of the Boston news channels and Boston newspaper twitter feeds. Sorry, I’m old and don’t know how to link
