So sorry to hear. Teenagers have so much to deal with otherwise and this Covid and unrest just seems to pile on more difficulty than their young minds can handle.
I've posted here before about my Mother's suicide. Permanent solution to a short term problem. It has such a long term effect on families and friends, you never really get over it or understand it. We have had a few teen suicides in our community, one yesterday where the kid ran onto the freeway (405). Just terrible.
My Wife had been saying that the lockdown was going to bring about a lot of tragedy for kids. For some of them school and socializing was there only refuge from an abusive home life (This is in no way directed at your situation LWJ). Kids need to be able to be kids and right now that isn't possible.
My condolences to you LWJ and praise to your Wife for being the shoulder to lean on.
