We're all going to die sometime and sometimes life just isn't worth it.

I suppose I have no way of finding out other than to skim news articles for a man fitting your description who ended his life due to foreclosure shortly after your comment. But let me just tell you that if you were just toying around with us- ITS NOT FUNNY. If that is the case I assure you that your identity is not COMPLETELY anonymous. I highly discourage against taunting the spirits of those who are not yet at peace. They can make your life a living HELL, literally. If what you say is in fact true, then may you find the peace you are looking for. Bless you brother. Jason,

It's too late that I finally discovered what I was good at and wanted to do the rest of my life. I have 8 kids and a loving wife who all deserve better. I have been diagnosed with BiPolar Disorder and ADHD, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and PTSD. I was sexual abused by a male babysitter when I was a kid. My second stepfather beat me and kicked me with his steel-tipped boots until I had welts to hide from my friends but joyfully died when I was 13. (I never knew my real father) I can't bear to lose my house and my business after finally finding it as what I want to do the rest of my life for work only to have it taken from me. I'm tired of my failure and of being a burden to others and my family. I am planning to make my final eternal journey real soon. I'm surprised President Messiah hasn't found a way to save me. It'll be over soon. I'm sorry for everything. I'm mostly sorry for my wife and kids. It's the only way to end the pain and the constant racing thoughts. forgive me Lord.

The only way anyone will get me out of my house (other than purchasing it from me) is by dragging my cold dead body out. We all gotta draw a line sand somewhere.

You sit here critcizing Lindsay Wise's article stating she twisted and incorrectly reported this story bc it played well in the media. Well how the hell Do YOU claim to know what ACTUALLY happened?? You are going solely off off the same media reports you discredit. He was a dear friend of mine so, I want to set the record straight with you. I dont care if anyone even reads this as long as you do. Was James battling some demons other than the foreclosure? Yes. Was he thrilled with the way his life was going at that time? No. (how many people truly are?) But none of those things were going to push him to take his life. He had such a giving heart and was there for me in my most difficult of times when maybe I was the one who felt like I couldnt go on. In fact, one time when I was a few hundred short on my rent and it was down to the last day, it was who James loaned me the money and saved me from being evicted. His home symbolized his manhood to him. Taking it from him would have left him feeling less than a man- a failure so to speak. And it wasnt like he hadnt been paying on it for years already. He bought the house in 2001. Almost 7 years before this happened! And he wouldve paid it still had they not jumped the gun. Ok, so maybe he was behind, but he had been paying for years! Had they just given him a little more time they wouldve gotten their stupid money. Instead, a man's life was lost. Not just a man, MY FRIEND who I love so very much. And Ill never get to see him, hug him, laugh with him EVER AGAIN! Now the jerks turned around and sold the house for $21,000. So it ended up causing them to take a hell of a loss. And I will go the rest of my life feeling like my friend died over a mesely $21,000!! Makes me ill to think about it. Its just so f*cked up.(excuse my french) So now ya know. THE REAL STORY.
