Thread: The truth behind the Woman overboard

Mental illness?...Very sad.
Pickles.

Wonder how much hubby contributed to the illness.

I wonder if this will lead to the requirement to have barriers installed to prevent this ?

till the next big sea wipes them off ...

been on the Dawn and i thought the thing was quite secure for what it was.

you'll never stop someone that has it in their mind to do that sort of thing, maybe slow them down a little, sadly

i feel for the kids esp.

Hi,
It would be a hard impact on the water from 40 odd meters.
Very sad for all involved.

Cheers

Normally in rough weather the doors to the weather decks are locked, for passengers safety. Almost impossible to stop some one jumping from the top deck. As was said to me by a sergeant of Police ,after I cut down a young man who hung himself [ over a woman] you can't stop them, they will find a way.

Sadly, the amount of women who are on, or need, medication is on the rise, and has been for at least a couple of decades (based on ABS stats). Women are less happy than they have ever been where men are about the same. Also, usually the hubby has not much to do with it though as it is mostly societal pressure - or the woman's need to meet unrealistic expectations. (Thanks for nothing 3rd wave feminism!) The reverse however (men suiciding) is much, much more likely. It is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, but unfortunately it's just the route that society has taken over the last 2-3 generations. Guys don't talk things out (get no help, or see no escape), whereas women do talk things over. Either way (men or women), mental illness is no joking matter and it is always hard on all concerned. Having lived with someone who had (still has) BPD, it sure aint easy. Poor, poor woman, and her family. Utterly tragic waste of life.
