When Does Loving Someone Become Too Hard? Greetings All! This month I would like to talk about something that has troubled me for some time now. You hear about it on the news often and most recently, it has effected me in a personal way. Over the weekend, a family in my area was touched by tragedy. Let me set the scene up for you... The ex-husband, whom has been away from the home for nearly 8 months showed up at his former home, the present home of his ex-wife, unexpectedly. He somehow entered the home, shot the "present" boyfriend of his ex-wife and then turned the gun on himself. He didn't harm his ex-wife. One sad thing about this whole situation is that children were in the home at the time and it's been rumored that one or more may have witnessed the shooting. Needless to say, the children are traumatized. As things stand now, the ex-husband was successful in killing himself, but the boyfriend is still hanging on, however he's in very critical condition. Now I ask you....When Does Loving Someone Become Too Hard? The media is calling this shooting the result of a love triangle. Now we're on the outside looking in so we don't know what was really going on behind closed doors between all the parties involved. I still wonder what can be going through someone's head to make them want to take a life and then their own? I've heard in other's situations where one companion has told the other "if I can't have you, no one can." How selfish and cruel is that? Do they not think about the effect their actions will have on their children? Is it possible that people loose touch with reality or are they just evil? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered to remedy situations like this. What these people don't seem to realize is there are plenty of people in this world to date, marry and move on with, rather than focus all their time and energy on someone in the past who may have rejected them or decided the relationship is not working. Remember, you can't make someone love you. GET OVER IT! I believe that some of these people have issues in the first place and those issues somehow sit dormant until something triggers this explosive type behavior. This has happened too many times in our society and something needs to be done about it. The innocent children are the true casualties when situations like this arises and experiencing traumatic events can affect them for the rest of their lives.
