tragic that she felt so much despair, felt so awful she couldn't see beyond it.

(2,675 posts)6. I had no idea just how fucked up and sad a life she led.
I knew about the Roger Clemens thing. Did not know she romantically associated herself with suicidal people, had a leaked sex tape, and a myriad of drug and legal troubles. Very very sad.

(13,661 posts)7. she shot her ex-boyfriend's dog before she killed herself
sounds like a hell of a lot of anger, and a messed up woman.
Anybody thinking it might have anything to do with post-partum depression? Didn't she have a 10-month old baby?
Was she just determined to self-destruct by inflicting the most pain possible?
