My husband's Dad died suddenly when he was 16. He had to work the family farm hard until they sold it. His Mom had a really hard time and went on Prozac and just about went nuts (going off Prozac helped prevent that....Prozac can be bad news). My husband was 18 when we got married and got into the UPC.
After all this, we got the Holy Ghost, settled down, had a baby, bought a house, worked hard and lived happily ever after because we miraculously turned into perfect little church people and never had any problems.
