Took me just a bit too long to notice that this isn't snide sarcasm...

I wouldn't. Not about something like that.
BenRG:
I'm wondering if Faye is suffering from true depression. The description of a 'hole' that she can only fill with alcohol and feeling that her mind is spinning out of control both sound like depressive symptoms. It could also be hereditary. This is the first time Jeph has clearly implied that David Whitaker's suicide may have had a basis in a distinct psychiatric condition.
If Faye really has some kind of depressive disorder, then there will be no easy solution. There will just be bad days. I'm not even sure what her friends can do because these symptoms are often immune to outside stimuli.

How else would she have to tell it? If suicide is taboo, then it's tough to directly say it. Instead you can beat around the bush by saying it without actually saying it. But remember suicidal thoughts are not suicidal plans.

That is what I was trying to say. By bringing up her father, I don't think she was planning suicide. I don't think she was thinking about it in regards to herself either. Not even in the questioning way she talked about when she wrecked her car after her father's death. But rather I think that since she is recognizing the symptoms of depression in herself, she now understands her father better, and how he may have felt.
rfrank dodelijk:
I really hope the author doesn't have something awful in mind for 3000, hopefully the heavy handed foreshadowing rules out faye hurting herself.
