So, the husband knew she was suicidal.

So, why did the family allow her to travel to rehab on her own?

Lots of blame to share here with lots of people. Her husband should have escorted her.

I drove by myself to rehab. No one in my family knew I was going. I'd lost my job because of my drinking. I called my wife from the rehab place. The nurse told her over the phone what to bring me for my stay. I told the nurse to tell my wife to make sure she brought me some cigarettes. She asked the nurse if, since I was going to be in there anyway for being a drunk, they could break my cigarette habit as well. The nurse told her "one addiction at a time". She brought the cigarettes.

I've been clean and sober since 06/01/1999. I've also quick smoking.

It's a shame what happened to the woman. What I'm seeing now from her family is classic enabling behavior. However, her death was her own fault.

I doubt Betsy misses her.

Thats what Ive been wondering..why did they let her fly all that way by herself if she was a danger to herself??

Couldn’t they take the time off from soccer practice and play dates and other things?
