I haven't been here in forever, so pardon my intrusion.
One of my best and dearest friends, an old boyfriend too, who has stayed a big part of our lives, has lost his son to suicide.

Last week he killed his wife. Took their son. Called his dad and told him what he did and that he planned on "suicide by cop" or would be dead that night. My friend called the police. He was found after he had wrecked his car and went off walking. He had over dosed. The toddler was found with him, but safe.

The family is in shambles. I am in shock and wreck. I have known his since he was 4. Was just about his step mother. My friend had taken Lil'Monkey's seniors pictures just days before. No one saw this coming, besides them having some marital problems. Nothing abusive.

I don't know what to say or do, besides listen, which he isn't talking.

For my FB friends, please don't post there specifics, as my post there wasn't.
