I've dealt with many folks like this. Some have found treatment and support, and others have Gone And Done It.

When we reach that point, it's pretty much impossible to escape the singularity of self-centeredness, and we sometimes delude ourselves into thinking that "we're doing them a favor, because they are better off without us."

It's completely devastating, and often triggers a corrosion of families and communities.

My heart breaks for her, and for those she left behind.
