Crystal - wow, for EVERYTHING that your friend has gone through and IS going through, I am very sorry for her and her children. I hope she's ok. It sounds like, in the long run, that she is better off without him but it is still very sad that he killed himself. May I ask if it was intentional or if he was intoxicated at the time? My appologies if this is to personal, if you don't want to answer, I completely understand. My thoughts are with your friend during this difficult time in her life.
