Your husband is wrong ! You did what you thought best and felt comfortable with. You did bring up suicide, your fathers. One of the take aways I had was the note Rep. Raskin's son left.

"I'm sorry the disease won today"

Your son had professional help when he went into the hospital. You are part of this tragedy, but not the cause of it.

Peace and love to you
