GET, we all need a place to let off steam once in a while, else you might end up in the place where people opt for drastic actions like your poor friend. Don't carry that guilt, be glad that you've unloaded the intense frustration here where it could be given air time and handed back to you in more palatable form. [Linked Image]

I'll say a prayer for the comfort of your friend's loved ones and for each of us here to cope with the downs while we enjoy the upside of our path.

Lord knows I've had plenty of both and honestly, I give thanks and don't begrudge the valleys as they've shaped me into the woman I am today with more compassion, strength and character (along with a few dings in the frame and odd quirks in the controller, no doubt).

Chin up and give that guy in the mirror the same grace and latitude you give others.
