My bosses husband killed himself yesterday. It's fucking crazy.
Sam, my boss is great. Her life has always been all over the place and shes made a lot of mistakes. She recently started an affair and was tempted to leave her husband Jim, despite having young kids with him still.
She told Jim about her affair a few weeks or months ago, because, well she likes sex and Jim had diabetics, and that has led to erectile dysfunction for him. I can't imagine any man could except that his wife is getting her sexual needs for another man. But he stuck with it. Then Sam fucked up and fell in love with the guy she was screwing. So she told Jim properly that she was going to leave him. Obviously he took it badly and went awol for a while then a friend found him dead in a hotel room the next day.
I know Sam fucked up quite badly but damn, I can't get my head around a man doing that to his children. Two of Sams children aren't Jims but he raised them as if they were, and the other two? Well the boy is 11 and the little girl is 5. The other boy is 7 and believes Jim is his father. I have no idea if or how she has told them that their father killed himself because she was having an affair. And 3 weeks before Christmas too, when they were so looking forward to it. God, I just can't get my head around that.
And while Sam isn't the victim here, her mother killed herself when Sam was a teen. She had a hard time coping with that and never truly recovered from it. So I can't even imagine what she is going through with this and her kids. Plus the fact that she is bipolar.. I worry for her safety right now actually.
Just madness.
