BeingMe I am so incredibly sorry about your daughter's friend. So sad that any young person [or anyone] gets to that point.
Odd about our spouses. Mine is the exact opposite and is a different man now. So not the nice guy any more, but as I posted on Wendy's thread - I truly believe we did have a good marriage. My xh became very very mean and nasty, and even now he is strange and alienated, like someone on the moon. Post MLC he was so mean to my lovely dil he used to make her cry!
