I just got an email from my mom. It was about a military buddy of my brothers, who moved up here when he got out of the service. He lived with my brother for almost a year, and then he moved out with his girlfriend, since they were expecting a baby together. They moved into a trailer that her parents owned. I guess some time yesterday they had a big fight. And he left with the baby so she could calm down. He gave her a while, and tried to call, so that he could come home. No answer. He called her parents. She wasn't there. He called her sister, and she went looking. . . and found her. . . she'd hung herself at their trailer. She left a note. . .and the only part that the police will let my brothers friend read are the parts that pertain to him.
This friend had nowhere to go. so he went to my brothers house, and my brother and his wife stayed up with him all night. All just in shock. The bad part is that her parents sent the cops for the baby. My brothers friend isn't on the birth certificate because they had to have some paperwork filled out. They hadn't done that yet. . .the baby is only 3 months old. So he as of right now, has NO legal claim to the baby, without going through a huge fight. I feel so sorry for him. This baby is his entire world. And now he may lose him too.
I didn't know her well, but I know him. And my heart is just breaking for them right now.
I'm wondering if it isn't a PPD thing. The baby is only 3 months old, and she already had depression issues before this. . .so I wonder. That, plus I guess she just found out this week from the doctors that she'd just had a miscarriage.
She was only 23 years old. And that poor baby will never know his mother. . .
If you're the praying type, please say a prayer that everything will be ok for D, and the baby.

Oh My goodness...that is so sad. I will pray for your friend..that he gets his baby back soon! Just thinking about that poor baby and family breaks my heart. Post partum depression is nothing to play around with...i'm sure i had it...but i made it through without any meds out of embarassment and shame. Thank goodness that part of me is over with..i had some pretty dark days of sadness and lots of crying..
wow...so sad. I will surely keep your friend in my thoughts and hope that he will be able to be with his little one through this tough time.

I will be saying prayers for them and hope in time he will have his baby back with him.
