Man Whose Children Were Killed by Drunk Driver Commits Suicide a Day After Father’s Day
I skimmed the article; it doesn’t say what drove this man’s anxiety and suicidal ideation, so I’m not sure if his kids being killed by a drunk driver is what pushed his mental health the wrong way, or if they were pre-existing conditions.
Regardless, although this guy was married with children, his children were killed, so being married and a parent was not a guarantee of constant happiness for him.
Being married, and I guess a father, didn’t bring him inner peace, joy, and all the other things so many conservatives (like Al Mohler and Brad Wilcox) say it will bring.
You can get married and have children and still be depressed or have other mental health problems, or your loved ones can still die.
Very sad story.
