new info that i read: Bobby found her body!! previous stories said that the maid found her.
In sickness and in health, I am sorry but when somebody is suffering from depression they need the support from their spouse, instead Kennedy went out looking for a better mate. SHAMEFULL !!
Borderline Personality Disorder is no joke. A volatile and unsettling condition and all the calling cards seemed on display. I wish her family the best and hopefully they find support. Very sad.
It IS tragic that anyone might feel so much pain and hopelessness that they would conclude that killing themselves is their best available option. None of us can know the feelings of all those involved, and none of us can imagine that anyone is happy Mary Kennedy is gone.
