From the story: Suicide statistics are terrifying. In 2005, there were 32,637 reported suicide deaths in the United States - 822 of those were in Washington State.

Ten years ago, I was faced with a big decision in my life (although I didn’t talk about the specifics at the time)… To leave a long-term, serious relationship, or to go out on my own and live independently again. It was one of the most difficult decisions I made in my life, and this article was my attempt to try and bring some reason to it.
