I'd only be repeating myself if I were to say what I did in the "90-yr-old killed herself" thread, but to add on- the economy is just affecting people in such an extreme way- and I don't think it's going to get better anytime soon. It's sickening that people get into such a state of mind like this guy or that old woman did. My family & I feared my brother was stooping to that level after being unemployed for over a year...but finally a blessing came along. He plugged away, we supported and prayed for him and he finally got a job he loves, though it's still tough for his family trying to pay rent and bills and take care of their kids- they are still having to take a step backward and are trying to sell their house and rent for a while- it's become that bad. Yes, things suck right now, and they may get worse- but there's always a way out. It will just take time and a little struggle. I have my story- but that's in the other thread.
