A seemingly happy family, all out together at an evening social function. They leave, all smiles and thanks to the hosts. The next morning the phone goes strangely unanswered and when much later the police break the door down, they find a murder scene and the perpetrator, the father, dead by his own hand. This scenario is unfortunately not that uncommon, and I think there is reason to believe that with a major economic readjustment looming, that more father’s may be driven to desperate measures.
