[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 651308, member: 3103"] I used to say "****'em, if they want to quit then fine." That was my experience from friends who just up and killed themselves one day. Then a few years ago, a really good friend of mine took his life. The circumstances were odd. His wife had kicked him out because of the most insane reason while he was serving overseas. He was now divorced and living with a girlfriend who was scum. She called the cops and said he was threatening her (because she was trying to steal), and so they showed up fully armed. He was alone in his house, and asking for the Sheriff, a good buddy who had served with him overseas for almost a decade. They didn't try to contact the sheriff, they just decided to try and go in. Well he must have hit the end of his tolerance limit, and finished the job for them. It could have been so easily prevented, but it seemed so many people were like me and just didn't give a ****. Breaks my heart just typing this. The guy was a solid quality man, and I couldn't wait for my boys to grow up with him as a friend of the family. Now, my tone has changed. I realized everyone has their limit, they reach it at some point and just can't go on. I wish my FIL, myself, or the Sheriff could have been there for our friend, but we weren't. I won't make that mistake again. If I feel someone is running a tough road I drop everything to help. I've got friends that joke/gripe about being depressed and I don't take it lightly. So yeah, it's definitely affected me. As it does everyone. [/QUOTE]
