This post may be triggering to some.
One of my husband's Army Sargent's wife has bipolar disorder and (Trigger) she committed suicide two days ago. This makes me so sad for her and for him. This could happen to me or any of us here. I hate that it's a part of our reality. That this happens to us at a higher rate than most. I wish that someone could have saved her from her mind. What I'm sickened by is the people who comment on her husband's Facebook page, blaming him. Saying awful things to him, telling him that he's the reason. Why would anyone tell someone that? I don't understand. I can't imagine what he is going through, losing his wife to mental illness and then being blamed for it. No one deserves that kind of treatment. All I can think of is how that could be me and I would not want anyone blaming my husband. This whole thing just makes me want to do more people like us. There should be more education and awareness. I just don't know how I could help. Heck I haven't even told my family about my own mental illness. I just want people to better understand the battle we face everyday and that no one is to blame for the tragedy that sometimes take us away.
