I agree whole heartedly with what you have said, not knowing the circumstances for this terrible act to have happened all we can do is speculate as to the reasons. I can however tell you that in the time of mental anguish felt by fathers trying to get access to their children the only way they feel they can be with their childrenis in death. This is the sad part about our family law system here in this country and world wide. The actual statistics for the suicide rate of men world wide due to family law court battles is 1 death every 45 seconds if I remember correctly. I am not defending this fathers actions at all but please keep in mind that at the time he commited the act he would have been in a very fragil state.
This is a topic very close to my own heart having been through the wringer of family law court myself, as some of you on here who know me personally I haven't seen my own kids in several years. I also spend a lot of my spare time helping fathers who are unable for what ever reason from being able to see their own kids. Some of those very fathers are members of this forum as well so please be respectful in what you say in response to this thread as it isn't always black and white.
