I don't know if agree with others saying that those who threaten, don't follow through. I know someone who threatened and did.
However, it appears she is clearly manipulating you, and using you. I agree with what others have said, who commits suicide over a car? Really? And she now has a child? I think she is playing you.
Yes, MYOB, and let her family help her mentally the best they can. THIS IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY MEN CONTINUE TO TURN A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP INTO THIS.
LISTEN VERY CLEARLY GUYS; HOOKERS, ESCORTS, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL US MAKE MORE MONEY THAN YOU. IF LADIES ARE COMING TO YOU FOR FINANCIAL HELP, THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN, UNLESS YOU LIKE DRAMA. IT COULD BE MIS-MANAGEMENT OF MONEY OR WHATEVER, BUT THERE IS NOT EXCUSE FOR THIS BEHAVIOR EVER IMO.
Your best best, is to change your number, email, etc. Cut off contact.
Sorry girls, I don't feel sorry for a working lady in this position. What other job is there, where you can wake up flat ass broke, and make your rent in one day???

The SB does not seem, IMO, to be in a drastic & dire EMOTIONAL downward spiral and at risk for suicide, but perhaps she is feeling desperate because of her financial situation and is saying any and everything to pull herself out of her black hole of debt..
Maybe because she has been away from the OP for a substantial enough amount she's realized he really contributed vastly to her finances, lifestyle, comfort of living, having to increase volume of appts, etc. But all in all, she seems to just have grown dependent on him and maybe she feels as though he will have no problem falling back into her trap & continuing to pay all her bills and then some.
Like Holly mentioned, she may have a problem managing money, or worse.. and the OP doesn't need to support something like that if she has been in & out of the picture anyway. Find someone else more consistent, with less baggage, and who maybe doesn't give you the feeling of "needing you" or that her whole world will end if you don't help her with her car bullshit. She sounds a bit immature or maybe she has simply replied on others and has been irresponsible for too long.. Let her grow up and be an adult and let her learn the hard way & maybe one day she will get it together. Just my .02
