Well , I guess to start i must say i recieved a phone call yesterday from a friend i see once a month. now he has some issues, he has a loaded gun and a depression problem , he called me to see if i was really his friend . I assured him I am his friend , he wants to end it so his family can collect insurance and not worrie about money. the man is 51 married to a woman that loves him deeply, Adopted his nephew as a son for his brother, I needed a place to stay 2 years ago and no questions, he handed me a set of keys to an apartment, he has a heart of gold and feels with his now financial troubles that if he kills himself his family will be taken care of, but i told him that the money would be spoiled due to the fact his wife and son need him! not the extra money. I suggested a counselor, i dont think he will ever go for professional help, but i know he really dont want to do it.I HOPE! i dont know which direction to go with this , i cant just call the police or a hospital or he will lose more money and get more in an emotional hole, not to mention the guns , I am a good hearted person and i was hoping some of my friends may help with some advise, im not a counselor, i dont know what to say except your loved, and would be missed more than a dollar. im sorry i hope this dont break anyones perv but i felt just maybee theres someone with a ray of light for me, i need advise on what to do. He is a good friend and i would do the same for a stranger, so see how i feel. thank you all, your friend elvestree AKA jason
