A psychologist explained on TV that people with depression of chemical imbalances which give them 'narrow vision' when it comes time to solving problems - ergo, suicide.
Cocaine can fuck you up too.
So it may not necessarily be the wives (many people here wish they had a net worth of millions after a settlement, although cash equalizations can mean mortgage financing if you don't sell off everything).
"In 1996 Robin Williams told his good friend Christopher Reeve he would pay his medical bills after a horse-riding accident left Reeve paralysed from the neck down."
I'm sure he had assets worth well into the millions, but having liquid cash is a different thing.
EX No. 2 (who was his kid's nanny for Christ's sakes way back when (he left his first wife for her)) soaked him for 30 million plus alimony (which was probably millions per year as well)
For him to come up with that kind of dough meant he probably had to liquidate a pile of assets (or hand them over to her)
Either way, the divorce laws are fucked up. Completely antiquated.
I agree. Cash equalizations mean either mortgage or sell-off.
How the hell can alimony be justified when his ex got $30 million is beyond me.
Really? Obama leads his tribute? I liked the guy but, people around the world are dying of war and diseases. Some American millionaire commedian kills himself over drug and alcohol, the president honors him? Gimme a break.
He was an american icon. It had more to do with american pride.
This guy was like the Elvis of comedy.
I wonder with Robin Williams now being dead, does that end her alimony payments as well?? I assume most of Williams estate will go to his current wife and kids, that probably doesnt leave much for his ex-wife does it??
Like I said, I liked the guy for his acting, loved his movies. But the way he ended his life, is nothing to be proud of.
I agree, everyone should ONLY talk about war and diseases.
How insensitive for anyone, least of all "Obama" to say a few kind words about someone who brought so many laughs and smiles to so many millions of people. A "millionaire comedien" who was notable for his selfless charity as for his ability to make us laugh.
If your presence on TERB is any indication, I can say with reasonable confidence that this is not something you will have to worry about upon your passing. Maybe time to become likable?
As if he cared to be proud of the manner in which he chose to end his life...
Are you proud of the way you live your life? You seem to be pretty humourless and mean spirited. I am curious why.
I am proud of the way I live my life. And good try to change the subject. I don't care how great someone is. If he commits suicide let alone abuses drugs and alcohol, I have no respect for him period.
Selfless charity? Suicide is the most selfish thing a person can do. No amount of goodness can negate evil of suicide. I was really hoping it wasn't suicide, maybe a murder setup to look like suicide or something.
This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have absolutely no understanding of mental illness, none whatsoever! :frusty:
Exactly.
Robin Williams didn't die of suicide. He died of Bipolar. When a person dies of cancer, it is actually some body failure that does it but the root cause is cancer. A failed liver is the what killed you but the cancer is what cause the liver to fail. This is no different. Some people will just never understand that.
