It's either bullshit or the OP and her family are very naive. Hopefully if it's true the sister is safe.
Such a blown out of proportion post that was. One person suggested the woman wasn't safe then everyone jumped on the bandwagon .
Because the story she was told didn't make any sense and was really sus!
Did u read the post properly? It didnt make sense. U can't apply for divorce til youve been separated for 12 months. The document sounded ridiculous and like an excuse to keep the family away. It is very suspicious!!
It wasn't "jumping the bandwagon" but was rather genuine concern for her that others picked up.
I think a lot of people thought it was fishy since so many DV murders start as a missing person case, with the husband saying "she just took off and doesn't want to be found" apparently but she's dead in a ditch somewhere. That and the supposed document that would have to be bullshit, the story does not add up at all and somebody is telling porkies.
Honestly, I have mer a lot of people in my work where 1 parent abandoned ship.... male and female. The only thing I thought was that maybe he didn't want their help. I agree that everyone jumped on the idea she was dead. It was a reasonable query.... but certainly not the only possible scenario
I don't think anyone thought it was the only possible scenario. I've also known people both men and women who have abandoned their kids but this was just a really weird story that seemed very much like a Dateline episode.
I used to work in the disability field, so I know first hand that the burden of raising a very high needs child is simply too much for some people. I can fully understand how a parent in that situation could get to the point that they'd skip the country just to escape it all. It's a hard, thankless job with exceptionally little in the way of support.
I've actually experienced situations where a parent has just walked away.
(Anyone who hasn't lived it should hold their judgement).
However, as you said yourself, making some enquiries about the sister's welfare is perfectly reasonable given the circumstances and I too hope the original poster has been able to get in contact with her sister in some capacity. Not just because of the possibility her husband has caused her harm (because his version of events was odd - particularly the bogus legal documentation) but because it sounds like she was in quite a precarious place mentally.
There was something really fishy with that post known of it made sense, I think it was probably a fake post for attention. I'm not convinced this isn't OP as well stirring it up for attention again.
I'm not the OP of the post this is about, just a worried IM.
