There's middle ground. At some point, and we each know when that is for us, we hit a point of satisfying what we need to know. Acceptance and research aren't mutually exclusive. It's all part of the process. Obsession with it and using it as distraction can happen too. But for some of us we need to have a deeper level of knowing what happened. Just difference in people. Our commonalities are at the forefront so much here, but our processes are unique.

I agree. If RCR didn't want to know more about what happened to her husband HS wouldn't exist.

Will not watch the documentary. My maternal grandfather did the same as Paul. I am well aware of all the hurt, grief and issues it brought to my grandmther and their 4 children. The difference is, when my grandfather killed himself, they no longer lived in the big house.

And the grandad had some mental issues he never addressed. Hardly a surprise. What men born in the 1910's would? None?

Charles Schultz, creator of the "Peanuts" cartoon was a MLCer.  So was Dr. Seuss.  Read their Wikipedia pages.  Dr. Seuss' wife was so distraught at being abandoned -- she killed herself.

Will not watch the documentary.

That's ok Anjae.  Just posting it on here for anyone who might want to. Not every one will and I certainly have no intention of re-stirring old memories. The documentary is also about how we carry on despite all of the challenges. Vickie (the wife) is now a public speaker, blogger and coach about depression and autism.  Her life is certainly very different from being the envisioned wife and matriarch of a large family.

Okay, this one is classic:

Congressman says aide he denies harassing was his “soul mate”

And this one — mad respect:

Ewan McGregor’s faithful fan following is deserting him for walking out on his wife. The star’s biggest fan websites, which attract millions of readers daily, are to close after 18 years.

I doubt highly that this story has made it outside the UK but one political party leader is most definitely showing signs of Narcissistic MLC man!  50+ years old, left his wife of many years for 25 yr old woman who has tweeted appalling racist comments.  He refuses to step down saying "He has done nothing wrong"  He said he would give up his girlfriend but was then caught kissing her three days after he said they had broken up.

Most fascinating - I am so tempted to say something about MLC out loud to H but he wouldn't get it!

Not as high profile celebrity but I thought I'd post a positive one.

Thanks for that. I found an interview with the couple:

Well folks, here is another loser......

Our Deputy Prime Minister who is 50 years old has left his wife, had an affair with his 33 year old co-worker and she is pregnant.  Sound familiar anyone?

His wife and four daughters are devastated and rightly so.  Is anyone actually listening to how 'not right' this is?  Not really, most are having a laugh and a few snide comments about the age difference but that's all.  Very sad.  He doesn't look happy although the papers are saying he is "happier than ever" - we shall see

Here's the link to the story, have a look at this woman if you want to see an affair down:

Johnny Depp, I believe, is entering next stage. BD or the "threshold event" was walking out on his family after becoming obsessed with a young co-star whom he impulsively married then verbally and physically abused. His drinking and spending are out of control, his hygiene is terrible, and he seems unconcerned that his teeth are rotting.

Recent interviews (since last Alice in Wonderland) with him are alarming. He stutters, cannot respond to multi-sentence questions, takes too long to process a question and takes everything literally. His left frontal/temporal lobes are now being affected, the language center. I think he is embracing his "rock-star" musical side now to compensate for atrophy in the speech center.

Ben Affleck and Anthony Lapaglia are a few years behind Depp. Just look at all of their dead eyes, the window to the soul.

bv, I wonder if Casey Affleck is also in early stage after sex harassment lawsuits and divorce from wife.
