My mother-in-law, God bless her, did the same for her son for nearly 40 years. I always tell my wife that her mom is one o the toughest and most loving people I have ever met.

Mother in law still hates me, but I think only God will change that. ;)

Why did she have enough bullets for her son but not for herself? If she really wanted to die that would have been more efficient than pills and she already had the gun in her hand.

Sounds like the dad is a real stand-up guy. /s

He should have stayed around to help. This probably would not have happened.

God bless you. Please see if you can get some assistance. Sounds like you need a break. Any family or friends or possibly social services who could help?

Praying for you now.

His mother showed no signs of depression or of feeling overwhelmed, she added.

Probably felt like showing such would make her look like a bad Mom and ended up overwhelmed with trying to carry that load alone....I pray the Lord sees fit to reunite her with her healthy and perfect child when her time comes.

“Sorry ass baby daddy is to blame for much of this.”

And you can be sure he’ll be right in there with his sobbing face on the news, suing the state for not providing baby momma with all the help she needed. Gramma too. I’d say maybe a couple mil ought to do it.

Yep, a family member was near the edge taking care of someone.
I offered many time to help but she wouldn’t take it?

We used to have state schools for cases like this.
And we used to recognize when it was more merciful to let them pass instead of pouring in tons of resources into the child.

They are a country Preacher and his wife. I took their daughter far, far away. Military to California, New York, Germany, Africa, etc.

They still live in Columbus, NB and have never been too far away from family, other daughter, grand kids, etc.

I took their daughter away, so far, for 34 years.

Thanks.

I took no days off last year. It was too much. I’ve taken a day off this coming school year. Sometimes I get that time to myself, sometimes not, like all parents. But I KNOW of two families where the caregiver died first. There is a reason. Thanks.

Here a few weeks ago, a mother threw her 4 year old daughter into the Hillsborough River. She was disabled with Austim. So sad...
