I actually feel kinda sorry for her for having such little respect and love for herself. I can understand the feeling of being a failure if you are living in a small town without having wed and bred. In fact I was told a few years ago that I was going to be nothing but the old maiden aunt still living at home. I find that I'm kinda looking forward to that because my childfree great-aunt is awesome and takes no shit from anyone. She's the first bible thumper I've met that believes in abortion and hates kids . I wish this woman would have been able to look around and see what a gift she had in life. I wish she had been strong enough to not let the breeders break her down to feel like she was nothing without a man and kids. The breeders around her with the passive-aggressive remarks are the ones responsible for this.

It sounds like she was unstable, insecure and probably depressed. When you are always looking outside yourself for validation you can't really win.

Last but not least, women are trained to show deference to a man. She didn't fulfill her roles as a woman by the prescribed time and now she is dead because once a woman hits 30 there is some sort of unspoken rule that women just need to disappear apparently. In this sense, she did not kill herself. Society killed her long before her heart stopped beating.

So no, I won’t say that you’re insensitive, but I do think that there is much more to this story.

Sounds like the family had a narrow standard of what "success" meant and likely impressed that upon Miss Gow.Quote
Fearing her boyfriend Anton Tsvarev, 30 would leave her, Miss Gow sent him a text message wishing him ‘all the best for the future’ before taking her own life at her home.
Very insecure, had communication problems, struck out in anger at her boyfriend by delivering a snarky farewell message.

I'll toss out some sympathy for dead non-moo. Society has all sorts of arbitrary time limits that make you feel worthless if you don't make them. Me? I have a bachelor's degree, an IQ of 130 and I'm older than I "should" be for working the shit job I have. My husband and are paying the bills, I put in an honest, hard day's work, but some times I do feel suicidal for for not being the financial success I want to be/ "should" be. Every job interview that ends in a rejection letter makes me feel worthless. So, to kill yourself for not having kids or being married seems silly to most people, it was something she wanted that she just couldn't make happen, no matter how hard she tried. Obviously there were also mental health issues (as with me), but part of me empathizes with her greatly.

My brother, the first born Christ Child, is a rocket scientist.
Yea, I have some self esteem issues.

Well I think it's a sad scenario that she didn't feel that there was any help for her. It sounds like she had attachment and insecurity issues. Maybe her friends and family made her feel a failure for not marrying and breeding, who knows.
Women are still brainwashed into thinking that's all they're worth, that's even sadder. I'm with catharsis on that one.
