I'm now more confused than before.

So even more backstory, the guy who ran Something Awful (Richard Kyanka, aka lowtax) had a pretty big public breakdown, was effectively forced out of SA as a bunch of bad information about his private life came out, and then took his own life.

Spooky Tired was married to him, and Jay's posts are reminding her of how lowtax was behaving near the end.

Right, that makes sense.
