Such a terribly tragic ending and I feel really bad for the kids!

Unfortunately, statistics will show that the suicide rate among men increases significantly with divorce. There are also really alarming numbers in regards to women's death by domestic homicide from their intimate partners (husbands ex-husbands, boyfriends, etc).

Why that is... I can only speculate, but there are many studies that find women are more likely to initiate divorce. Therefore, in most cases, the men are the ones left in shock and most likely didn't want the divorce. (not all situations)

There can also be other factors for the mental instability of male divorcees. Gender bias family court (not entirely proven) could play such a role. Loosing time with your children, carrying a heavy financial burden, and relocated or loosing marital property is all very damaging during the divorce process.

(I am not advocating that only MEN suffer from these things)

Either way I think we would all agree that divorce is very tough. Depression, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, are just some common side effects that goes with it. Probably pretty much everyone on here has experienced some, if not all, of such symptoms.

My heart and prayers go out to those children. I am sure no one will ever know why he did what he did, but again...I feel really bad for the kids.
