Leaving on a whim

Sounds like a total bitch...my wife left the kids and I two weeks before Christmas in 2002...too bad she tried to come back, it would have been better if she just drove off a cliff :)

John Denvers follow up flop?

sorry , satan is very busy destroying marriages

you can see in her eyes, troubled

Anyone that abandons their children doesn't get my sympathy, imagine what they must have felt then, and now that she's back.

I know I raised a niece and nephew , they are very damaged no matter how much I loved them even Counseling did not help

It's the same with suicide, which is basically what she did...reminds me of the movie Sling blade, where the kid's dad killed himself because he lost a job and felt like he couldn't provide for his family, but the kid said he thought they were well provided for...he just missed playing ball and being with his dad.

Yes another selfish act

Well that explains a lot!
One would think after experiencing such a painful loss you could relate to all the ladies who's ex's do the same to them for most of the time, the shoe is on the other foot.

use to be that way , but of late I know 5 ladies that have done this some in my own family

That really is very sad.
Civilized society appears to have gone to hell in a handbasket.

I can't imagine walking away from my children, ever.

Divide and conquer. Welcome to the New World Order. Things are going to get 1,000x more crazy soon, buckle up, be strong, be diligent.

wow, the daughter would have been about 9 and the son a couple few years older when she took off... poor kids.

Strange my husbands uncle kind of did the same thing. In 1972 right before his wife had their twins he went "missing". He left his truck in a grocery store parking lot. In 2008 a pi found him in key west. Living an awesome life. I don't know how the hell he lives with himself.

I read the article this morning as well.

I know life is rough, believe me I've been hit nonstop for about 5 years now, but I keep on keeping on.

I can't imagine what on earth went through her head as a mother to LEAVE HER CHILDREN.

I could never abandon my children (I mean I can see life being rough, so rough you can't afford it and asking family to help, even take on a child if I was so destitute, but to just UP AND LEAVE to never return.... )

my kid is grown -i want to leave- but how?

We started a family right out of high school, she was still a senior actually, I was working and attending different schools, so after the third kid we decided three was enough and she went back to school...that's where they brainwashed her and turned her into a Liberal and then she left us. She has since shaken off the Liberalism, but it's too late...
