Let me get this straight, you believe your friend is willing to commit suicide and you were sitting in front of a computer posting on a insignificant forum?
That is some friend....

Um, her parents are trying to get a restraining order against me, because I have been on the phone with her until 0400 almost everyday for months helping her with her depression because they won't do a thing but beat her and demean her daily. I've made some inquiries in CAP, and suffice to say the ball is rolling to get CPS involved. Trust me, I have given hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars to helping her and protecting her from her parents as best as I could while trying to find a professional option that isn't going overboard (Don't make me get into the details, but up until now it has been JUST straddling the line between lousy parents and and a CPS-worthy situation, hence it taking so long to start on that path). When she was isolated from everyone else (Her parents even canceled the home phone line so she couldn't call out when they weren't home. No she doesn't have a cell-phone) I went out and got her a cell phone she could use in case of emergency and smuggled it to her. At this point, CPS is involved and I don't want to have a TRO on my record, so there is nothing I can do but wait by the phone and help counsel her after they're done doing their damage.
dam dude....sorry 'bout your grandpop......my grandparents raised me.....and it hit me like a freight train when i lost my grandpop.
He was the last of his generation in my family. It hurts, but he was 96 and this was a long time in coming. I found out today though he will be buried with full military honors at the National Cemetary of the Pacific, so that is very comforting.
