What a MOTHER!
The poor husband living under that shadow for the rest of his life.
.
If my mother walked off a left me without a word, I wouldn’t care if I ever saw or heard from her again!
What the.....??
The entire population of the Yukon is only 33,000. And that’s as high as it’s likely ever been since the Gold Rush.
If you wanted to disappear, wouldn’t you choose New York? Los Angeles? Rio? And why would it take so long to find her?
She a ho?
Whichever one of these stays, since it doubluh postrated, could be an Undead Thread... with permission of course.
The “I’m going for a walk, I’ll be some time” thread...
absolutely sickening. Look what she put her family through!!! Must be a mental case or void of any feelings!!!
Where do journalists and their editors get their educations these days? (is the plural term used typically in Canada?)
The “early 60s”, huh? LOL! A lot of the kids who didn’t want to “reform to their peer group” went “looking” for themselves. She probably didn’t find herself yet or she got lost.
The husband always gets screwed when a selfish woman decides she has had enough. Happened so many times. I think that Scott Peterson is in jail blamed for the death of his wife. This happens practically daily.
If this was an American newspaper, the headline would read:
Mom Missing for 52 Years Turns up Saturday
On the initial thread at the time this all was happening I said she probably went to the Yukon.
I got lost walking to the store for milk?
Note to self: If you want to disappear, go to British Columbia.
My maternal grandmother did that to my mom and her younger brother when my mom was 3 years old.
Then one day, when I was 5 or 6 years old, my mom told me that my grandma was coming to visit.
I had no idea that I even had a grandma, so thought it was cool. She showed up with another lady and an ugly dog, and I thought “Wow, cool! Now I have a grandma!”
Then she disappeared again.
She turned up as a lonely old woman when me and my sisters were in our late teens/early 20’s and wanted to talk to us on the phone... by then, we just blew her off.
Not sure whatever happened to her, but she was just a strange old lady to us. Never a card, never a call... only thought of us when she was old and lonely and then expected us to run to her... WTF????
When she called, it would go like this... the phone rang and I answered it... “Hello... this is your grandma...”
ME: “Oh, hold on she’s right here!”
(I would hand the phone to my sister and run out the door...) My sister thought someone was calling for her...
The phone was a hot potato then I don’t remember but either the calls tapered off or she disappeared again...
Now it’s over 20 years and no more annoying runaway grandmas.
Husband also suspected of murder, and the neighbors wouldn't let their kids play with his kids.
