You Think You Know Someone...

(Just wanted to put a pretty picture up, since this is an unhappy post.)

What makes people do the things they do? Do they fully think through what they're about to do? Do they think about how it will effect everyone around them?

A couple we know have split up. And one of them just took off. Didn't say, "I'm leaving, I'm unhappy." Just left and didn't tell anyone until they were too far gone for anyone to do anything. Didn't say anything to their family, the children, no one.

So now the children and spouse left behind are left with a hole. They didn't get closure. Didn't get the chance to say anything. It's like someone died.

I think people can understand if you're unhappy, and wouldn't fault you for that. But there's a right way to handle things. Even if it's not the easiest way. This was a selfish way to leave things.

I'm not surprised that they are no longer together, they had ups and downs. I am surprised at how it went down. I feel like one of those stupid people you see on the news when some one has been killed. And the news station speaks to the family members of the person accused of the killing and how they always say there is no way they could have done this. It's wasn't them, there not that kind of person.

You think you know someone.
