Twelve family members showed up to watch them fish the mother and little girl out of the water.

Wonder where they were when she was struggling to keep her wits together.

Not making a judgement. Just P.O'd.

Yeah, with 12 loving and concerned family members on hand to watch the little body being removed from the lake, it kinda makes you wonder about where they were during her money problems.

I think you presume too much. You assume these family members were not supportive of her during her financial crises, and that they were unconcerned prior to this. We don't know that. It's very possible for someone to have deep emotional and mental problems and still put on a normal facade to friends & family. Happens all the time, and unless you actually LIVE with the disturbed person, you may never pick up on the subtle clues that would lead you to feel alarmed.

People DO have problems. MOST folks find a way to work them out, and in day-to-day conversation, would you ever know that someone you knew was capable of doing harm to themselves or someone else? We'd all LIKE to think that we would... but this is not always the case, nor is it realistic.

Let's refrain from judging this family until we know more, and even then, condemnation comes easily. Forgivness is harder to find.
