Yes, to your last sentence, l saw this comment...
"They never know how much they left behind, all of that pain they had didn’t go away, it got spread to everyone they love."

There's been a lot of discussion online about "he was a coward", "why did he do it and leave his family", versus, "you'll never understand mental illness".. I found this one quite compelling..

'IT DOESN'T MATTER!

It doesn't matter that he "had it all" in most people's eyes.
It didn't matter that he had a beautiful family.
It didn't matter that he was an influencer.
It didn't matter that he was a millionaire.
It didn't matter he had a beautiful home.
It didn't matter how much love was in his home.
You can't see any of that when it gets dark.

What looks good on the outside isn't always good on the inside. You might be everything that the world loves, and all the things you no longer want to be at the same time.

Although I don't know you - this hit me hard. Much love and light to your wife and those babies man.'

You hear it so often, people who take their own lives referred to as cowards. Years ago my neighbour who just so happened to be a close family friend (in his 60’s) took his own life because he saw his life as dependent upon his eyesight and he’d just found out that he would loose his licence which would mean he couldn’t work anymore. So for him he saw no way out. I don’t see it the same as them being cowards, we’re put on this earth as individuals and our life’s hurt and pain and trauma we carry forever as individuals, sometimes no matter how much you feel loved and feel wanted and feel valued and seek professional help it’s still your own shit you carry and it’s never forgotten and never fades it’s always there no matter how hard or how much you try to put it to the side. Hopefully he’s in a much better place and has found healing and peace and hopefully somehow and someway his beautiful family will be able to find peace.

My best friend's husband shot himself on the front lawn in the middle of the day.. it just changed the trajectory of their life, and her two sons resent their father for doing it.

Honestly, some people do it just to stop the pain, whether it's mental or physical. The older I get the more I understand it.

The one thing I noticed about Twitch is that he went to the hotel room, most likely because he did not want his family to walk in and find him at the house.

Uh that’s so horribly sad. I’m with you it’s easier to understand these day and ages and how everything is post covid etc etc I agree he wanted to be away from family but I can still understand where the resentment would come from and how much it’d affect the kids and no doubt make them question so much :’-( because they wouldn’t be able to understand how someone who loved them so much could leave them in such a way. Horrible all round :(
 
And this is a prime example of why I personally don't cheerlead/big up celebrity IR couples. We don't actually know these people & what actually goes on in their lives behind closed doors.

 
I don't agree with comments that this is a cowardly act. First of all, it is terrifying to take one's own life and I think people who look at it as cowardly are speaking from a place of anger more than any actual knowledge of what a frightening act suicide it. I don't glamorize or glorify it, but I do understand that some people can be, or feel that they are, at the end, mentally or physically, and feel totally without any resources, regardless of their material circumstances in life. I just hope that the person who takes their life and their loved ones are at least not suffering as much as they were in life.

And neither does the people talking about it. This has nothing to do with them being an IR couple and her "whitewashing" his legacy.
Sometimes people's way of navigating through something isn't always ideal but to suggest ill and selfish intent (which is what some are doing) is wrong and actually displays
there own selfish intentions. This person's language and need to incorporate racism and "cultural appropriation" into this reeks of someone that doesn't care for Black Men dating outside their race especially if it's a white woman. I'm sure if he was married to a black woman and they did this they would have zero problem with it.

This has very little to do with their "status" as a IR couple. She is a woman that is trying to understand with what happened to her husband. And judging by her defense of
her critics I don't sense anything selfish from her and most definitely not anything racist, but a woman that tried her best to open up and help others. Some times that is well received other times it is not.
