The way these men retold the story made me sick at times. Felt like I was reading someone’s confession of an addiction.
So so interesting how they come to the conclusion that the girls’ suicides were selfish and that if they just understood how much these man loved them.
Graphic: Suicide and Suicide attempt
Minor: Alcoholism
