The authorities think it was an apparent suicide. At her daughter’s graduation ceremony. Seriously WTF?!
my HS graduation was on a Saturday, and my mom’s attempt was the following Monday. so I guess this has that beat for awful.
chronic depression really distorts your view of things. my mom honestly didn’t think it would taint my graduation or change my plans. sort of, like she was already gone from my life, so she was just trying to wrap things up?
unsurprisingly, even though she wasn’t successful, she still managed to screw me and my younger siblings up for a fair bit. it’s been 20+ years, and only one of us still is in contact with her.
Man I hope you guys are doing better.
mostly, yeah! it was a very dysfunctional childhood, but we’re all mostly functional adults.
So I’m reading an article about someone committing suicide at their kid’s graduation ceremony, then the site decided to throw this laughing Yao Ming Hoda popup when I get a few paragraphs in.
Oof.
Was she a Boeing whistleblower?
Main Character Syndrome.
Final words, “Welp, my job here is done!”
Wow. Absolutely destroying the graduate’s memory of her day. Wonder what mental health issues mom had that sent her down this path. Losing control of her daughter or something?
Maybe she has been suicidal for a long time and just managed to hold on long enough for her baby to be set up for independence.
Jealousy? Debt anxiety? Guilt about something? Depression?
I almost feel like they shouldn’t have reported this one until we had some sort of answer here.
Maybe she didn’t say before she leapt.
Well that’s just rude. /s
If they didn’t report on it then people would want to know what murder suspect to be looking out for.
