I've been "arrested to the hospital" - i.e., taken in handcuffs. A horrible, shaming experience.

I really don't feel comfortable telling you how to proceed. That's up to you. All I ask is that you stay in contact with us as much as you can

Hi Beth,
I hadn't heard that quote by Arthur Miller. I have also often contemplated suicide. Long ago, punishing someone was always part of it. I'm not sure about now though. I'll have to think more about that.

How horrible that they shamed you like that. It makes me so angry

Much love to ALL
