The method by which someone commits suicide says a lot about their intelligence (ignoring the fact that they are committing suicide altogether). Jumping off of a building is strong evidence of being an inconsiderate dumbass.
When kids are involved, is there a considerate version of suicide?
A few years back we had a family who lived three doors down from us in a rent house. The original owners of the house moved and decided to rent the house as they assumed they would come back to Houston in a few years. The new family were a little strange. The husband and wife were both previously divorced and the daughter was from the wife's first marriage. The husband told some neighbors they were renting because of credit/money issues. Yet, he drove a lime green Lamborghini. Go figure why they had money problems.
Don't really know the specifics but after a while we heard they were getting a divorce and the wife and daughter moved to a smaller house in the same subdivision. Then we hear the wife committed suicide. The daughter is given the option of moving in with her step-dad or living with her grandmother in CA. She chose to stay with her step-dad so she could stay in the same school.
So one morning at 6 am I walk outside to get the paper. Peaceful as can be. At 7:30 I back down the driveway to head to work. The street is filled with constables, ambulance, and assorted vehicles. Turns out the step-dad walked out onto the back patio and shot himself.
Think that screwed up the daughter a little? We felt so sorry for her.
