This is scary. I received a notice over the weekend from the state taxing people asking for details and receipts to support education credits W and I claimed. I emailed details to W this morning on what was needed. Several thousand dollars is involved which W was counting on 3 months ago.
W called me up this morning crying, frustrated with the demands that the state is making. As an example, the state is asking us to provide copies of receipts and canceled checks (?) from 2014 for all of our youngest 2 children's paper, pencils, backpacks, etc.
I tried to support her, and telling her I have some receipts that will help. Then she started crying so hard I could not understand her. But part of what she said was me moving into her condo, so s13 could stay at his school and not have to move again. She may have said that she wanted me to move in with her.
Then it got scary. W told me that she was in so much pain. That she could not sleep. She was obviously depressed. Then she told me "Wet, promise me, that whatever happens that you will take care of s13."
I promised, but asked if she was planning on running away, and she said "no". I may have been wrong, but I read her statement as being that she might attempt suicide.
When I got off the phone I called 2 of her sisters that are close to her. I was able to reach 1 of them, and explained that I thought W might do something to hurt herself. SiL thanked me and immediately called W.
SiL confirmed the depression, the pain in her body and lack of sleep adding to the depression. SiL went to W's place, gave W a sleeping pill and took the kids for the afternoon, hoping she could get some sleep. SiL also insisted to W that she needed to get counseling, and that W needed to get her focus on herself and work on her own life.
I'm praying like crazy for her. I have not heard anything since.
