    Please, I'm curious, do you keep this blog because you've experienced murder/suicide yourself? See, 23 years ago my dad murdered my brother and then killed himself. Your intentions here seem very ambiguous, nearly so neutral yet focused to be...concerning. If you've experienced murder/suicide, I'd love to chat though, apart from my family I've never met anyone else who has been through it.
