This will be very short. Two young friends of ours broke up recently when they started experiencing financial problems because she had lost her job. Today, their 13 year old son just committed suicide.
Damn you Republicans...and damn you Democrats for playing chicken with people's lives.
I'm so upset, I can't stop crying...I'm sorry.
7:03 PM PT: Thank you for your support. We are waiting on my son-in-law, but I will be gone for a while...I will respond to your well-wishes later. Thanks again for your kindness.
10:44 PM PT: Just got back. Thank you for the compassion you have shown for the family and for those of us who love them. I will repeat what I said in one of the comments, I was overcome with grief and anger when I wrote the diary and that is what caused me to make the statement damning both political parties. The family's problems began when they were overwhelmed financially after the loss of her job. It appears the boy took his own life because of his grief over the family's breakup. Unfortunately, the political game being played out in D.C. has real consequences that cause real pain for real families...some on this site have suggested that it is nothing more than a "blood sport" or a game...I hope they will reconsider because if that's all it is, then it's not worth it. Once again, thank you for your support.
