Comments on: Mother Hangs Herself and… http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2007/05/30/mother-hangs-herself-and/ Dr. John Grohol's daily update on all things in psychology and mental health.

The results of abuse are staggering and while I want to fall short of blaming the husband for this tragic event the authorities "police" could have referred the situation to some kind of counselling service or church. Maybe they did and maybe they just didn't care. Situational depression can be extremely dangerous if not addressed as this case unfortunately shows us. At this time all that is left is a prayer for forgiveness and the hope that the daughter who survived this tragedy succeeds in turning into something special. In a sense the community here is challenged to do everything it can to turn her life into a success story so that one day she can tell the story of a life won instead of the story of lost lives. May this story turn into the story of a great woman who survived.
