You're a cop, right? What did you learn at the Academy and into your job about domestic disturbances that involved suicide threats? You probably saw the emotional and physical devastation left in the wake of a person who went through an actual suicide.
They left behind small children, devastated spouses and parents. All for what? A means to escape pain that are temporary. They were all weak people. Guess what? The sad thing is THAT is all people talk about those poor souls, "he couldn't handle it...blah blah"
Never mind about this person's accomplishments. Hardly ever mentioned. It is always, "you remember Joe? That guy who offed himself...ya, that one..." How sad is that sort of legacy?!
I don't think you're a weak man....am I right in my estimation of your character here?
C'mon, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and yell "F*CK YOU, I will not be defeated here!"
