"Dear Dr. Sala," begins a letter from a very discouraged friend of Guidelines, who neither gave his full name nor an address. Jason tells about a broken home and the heartache he has experienced as his dreams and hopes fell apart. He says, "Many times before I left, I cried to God and begged him to save my marriage. What happened? Where was He? Why didn't he knock some sense into us?" He described his ordeal as a long valley through which he was walking and then, thinking about taking his life, asked, "How long are valleys supposed to last? Would you address the subject of suicide?"
