Until you have experienced the madness of living with and / or loving someone struggling with mental illness, you have no idea what the mind when sick is capable of.
I feel bad for the father. I feel bad for the kids. I feel bad for her.
People don't realize that the mind is no different than any other illness. You don't choose to get cancer. You don't choose to have a mental illness. No matter how much you try, neither cancer or a mental illness will get better without help and treatment. Regardless of treatment, some cancer is terminal, and in the case of this mental illness, it was too.
Sad for all involved.
