So my cousin had been married for about 20 years and he and his wife have 5 kids, all adopted from a "less-than-ideal" couple (the male served jail time for throwing one of the gitprls against a wall, the woman kept having kids despite being unable to care for them).
A couple of weeks ago, my cousin found out his wife had been cheating on him (when the wife of his wife's boyfriend called him) and he began the process of getting a divorce and requesting custody of the kids.
On Saturday, apparently, my cousin and his wife had a big argument.
Then Sunday, their oldest child's 8th birthday, my cousin gets a call from his wife "Come home for the kids. I just took a bunch of pills to die."
He called 911 and rushed home to find the ambulance had rushed her to the hospital and a cop was at the home with the kids. The boy whose birthday it was told him "I couldn't wake up mommy, so I had to open the door for the policeman."
She died on Monday, just 41 years old, and her funeral is Saturday.
It's so sad. I don't know what they will do. He has his own company, which I think does well enough, but she carried their health insurance. She also had a life insurance policy, but we don't know when she took it out or if it will pay, depending on its terms.
It's heart-breaking, especially for the kids who have basically now lost two moms.
I had just had a "Facebook conversation" with his wife a coupe weeks ago. She always seemed a decent person to me, but apparently was living a secret life.
It's just unbelievable. What was she thinking?
