Some of you may remember about 1 yr ago my friend was diagnosed with lung cancer.
She had radiation and chemo.I shaved my head when her hair fell out so she wouldn't feel alone. We are that close.

She is doing well. The problem is her boyfriend. He is my best friend I intoduced them. He called me the other day we talked for a while like we always do. Out of nowhere he says "Dottie you know when I lose Patty I going to kill myself"

His Mom committed suicide when he was 17, she had alot of problems that were never addressed. Some of the things he has told me leads me to believe she was bipolar.

The thing is before he even told me this I knew it. When she first got sick, I thought if something happens to Patty he will take his life.
He has talked about it several times throughout the 20+ years I have known him. I just don't know what
I can do to help.

I know I can't stop him, Patty has made me promise I will watch out for him if something happens to her.....she knows too. How can I lose my 2 best friends in
this world and do nothing?

I can't help Patty other than be supportive. What can I do for John?

Thanks for letting me vent
Dottie
