I always feel that it can't be just a bad marriage that would lead to someone taking such a big painful step. I mean who actually wants to be dead unless they have literally no hope left?
The woman had a bad husband but if her parents or friends had supported her, she would have seen at least one door open and moved on. But guess she had all doors shut on her. Hence, the need to want to end the suffocation. I don't want to be judgemental of such people. We don't know her mental state and her emotional/psychological condition.
Her parents wanted her to llve with the abusive husband. And friends - least said the better. These days it is almost impossible to find true friends who would stand by you in your difficult times and listen to your sad story when you have nothing better to feel or talk about. Most of the people just want to have fun and call you weak or gossip about you if you reveal your vulnerabilities. It's their moment of feeling better about themselves and act arrogant. Ironic.
In such a civilization scenario, women like these maybe just can't hang on anymore. Maybe it effects them mentally in ways we do not understand yet.
I actually agree with someone here who said, just hang on. You just have to have some kind of strength inside that would keep you working towards a better life. Sometimes you have to be selfish and not worry about the society's opinion or for that matter even your family at times. And slow baby step successes can make so much difference unless all you want are shortcuts, in which case you need to work much harder and while you are working hard at things that can make it better, it will probably take your mind off the rest of the bad shit that can make you weak. Works either way.
