ITS TOO LATE FOR MY SISTER, BUT IF THIS STORY CAN HELP OTHER WOMEN... I WILL BE GRATEFUL. MY SISTER TERRIE MET A WONDERFUL GUY AT 16 YEARS OF AGE. THEY WERE MARRIED AT 19 YEARS OF AGE. TO EVERYONE THEY HAD A HAPPY MARRIAGE. OH AT FIRST YOU KNOW JUST THE YOUNG LOVE THING. BUT THEN AS WE ALL GREW OLDER, THEY WERE THE HAPPY COUPLE. THEY ADOPTED A CHILD WHEN THEY WERE STILL IN THEIR EARLY TWENTIES. A BEAUTIFUL GIRL. SEVEN YEARS LATER THEY HAD A BABY BOY! IT WAS 5 OF US GIRLS, BUT TERRIE HAD A BEST WHO SHE PROBABLY TOLD HER DARKEST SECRETS TOO. WE KNEW HER HUSBAND HAD A TEMPER , BUT IT WAS ALWAYS DIRECTED AT SOMEONE ELSE. NOT TERRIE. HE LOVED HER. WE WOULD HEAR LITTLE STUFF, THAT HE WAS CONTROLLING, OT AS MY SISTER SAYS, HE TRIED TO BE. YOU KNOW HITTING WALLS. BUT AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF THIS , AND CHEATING, AND ANYTHING ELSE HE HAD DONE..... MY SISTER WAS TIRED, SHE FINALLY GOT FED UP, SHE WAS NOT HAPPY. SHE WANTED TO MOVE OUT!!!! OH NO! THAT WAS TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO BEAR. HE THREATENS TO SHOOT HIMSELF! BUT HE WAS TALKED OUT OF IT! CONTROLLING! THE NEXT DAY HE TAKES PILLS! CONTROLLING! HE IS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR ABOUT A WEEK. HE IS DIAGNOSED AS MANIC DEPRESSIVE! SHE IS TALKED INTO STAYING. NO ONE IS HAPPY. THEY DECIDE TO TAKE A BREAK. SHE HELPS HIM MOVE INTO AN APARTMENT, EVERYTHING IS FINE. HE HELPS HER MOVE INTO HER DUPLEX THE NEXT WEEKEND. EVERYTHING IS FINE.....OR SO WE THINK. HE IS SEEING A DOCTOR AND TAKING PILLS. DOES IT WORK? THE WEEK BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY HE WRECKS HIS CAR, AND CUTS HIS WRISTS....NOT DEEP ENOUGH TO KILL HIMSELF BUT TRYING TO CONTROL ONCE AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY HE GOES TO THE BRIDGE, HE PUTS 1 LEG OVER, HE STOPS, AND THINKS,,,,, I DID ASK HIM WHAT MADE YOU STOP...HE SAID HE THOUGHT ABOUT HIS KIDS. I SAID GOOD, WHENEVER YOU GET THESE THOUGHTS THINK ABOUT YOUR BABIES. ON THE 4TH OF JULY 2008 , MY SISTER IS OVER TO ANOTHER SISTERS HOUSE, WHO STAYED ON THE SAME BLOCK. SHE WENT TO GET A PLATE. HE SHOWS UP! HE TELLS HER HE WANTS TO TALK! HE TELLS HIS SON THEY WILL BE RIGHT BACK! THEY NEVER CAME BACK! WHEW!!! ITS HARD WHEN I GET TO THIS PART!!! WE LOOKED ALL OVER KANSAS CITY SATURDAY LOOKING FOR HIS CAR! NOT KNOWING THE NIGHT BEFORE IT WAS ALREADY ON THE SAME BRIDGE HE WANTED TO JUMP OFF THE WEEKEND BEFORE!!! HE THREW MY SISTER OVER THE BRIDGE!!! AND THEN HE JUMPED!! THEIR BODIES WERE FOUND SUNDAY, HERS, AND MONDAY, HIS. WE ARE SO HEARTBROKEN. HE SAID HE HE WOULD NEVER HURT HER. I TALKED TO HIM THAT MORNING. WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THE TIME I SAW HIM THAT MORNING AND 10:30 THAT NIGHT? LADIES YOU SEE THESE SYMPTOMS, LISTEN, LOOK, THINK, REMEMBER MY SISTER. WE WILL ALWAYS HURT. I CRY EVERY SINGLE DAY. I THINK I ALWAYS WILL EVERY SINGLE DAY.............SO LISTEN
