Fatal X Factor

A few years ago a husband and father killed himself, his pregnant wife and son, and left his other son an orphan. This story breaks my heart for so many reasons, but it hits me even harder because they were a Fragile X family. This story (and others like it) have gone unnoticed in our community. The stresses of being a special needs family, the hopelessness and exhaustion are never addressed or discussed.

Journalist Ben Hills has written a story about what happened to that family. If you can, please read it and share it.
