‘I am a fighter’: ex-NFL player on surviving suicide and financial abuse

The article discusses the story of Erik Kramer, a former National Football League (NFL) quarterback, who has survived suicide attempts and financial abuse. In a span of five years, beginning in 2015, Kramer tried unsuccessfully to die by suicide and then lost hundreds of thousands of dollars after a woman he secretly married plundered his life's earnings while he struggled to heal. Despite these challenges, Kramer considers himself an "extremely lucky man" and believes that his "recovery – both mental and physical – has been extraordinary by any definition." The article also provides information on suicide prevention hotlines and resources for readers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia.
