Quote:I disagree. Even if she couldn't have actually gotten him the help he needed, she could have avoided being part (don't interpret this as "the worst person in the world", bchbunnie4) of the problem. The firing thing is different than a loved one treating the person like nothing more than a pack mule. After five hours of shopping and too many bags to carry, wanting to go home is reasonable and someone insisting that you stay and claiming that you hate Christmas is likely to at least anger even sane people.

 

And I disagree.  How is she to know what's going to set him off?  Even assuming she saw him needing help, that he went shopping with her for 5 hours seems to suggest that he wasn't going to kill himself over going to one more store.  


It's reasonable to want to go home.  It's also reasonable to expect someone to decide to go home instead of kill themselves when they are angry.
