She calls him selfish;

she calls him stupid

and irresponsible

as she reads his scribbled suicide note.

It only has one sentence on it.

“All you do is criticise me”.

Doesn't it just. A sharp little piece.

Thank you, Vera. Its based on all the times people have committed suicide and I've heard nothing but condemnation of them; calling them cowardly and selfish; no sympathy or attempt to understand them at all.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
