Reading through this post today, I have to admit you struck a nerve. A few years ago, a neighbor--great hostess and very sweet--knocked at my door to speak to my husband about an issue she passionately opposed, a local managed hunt. He was out. This news caused her to snap. She started yelling at me. Words I remember were, "You need to move," "What good have YOU ever done for this community?" I was shocked. It's not that I think I'm the world's kindest, most generous person, but I actually do a lot of community service, have housed homeless people, run a small nonprofit that benefits local youth, etc, none of which she was aware of. It's easy to judge others when we know little/nothing about their daily lives.
One photo that stands out in my mind is BM walking into the woods with one of the daughters. I believe it was on SM's social media with a caption about them going camping. I like to think the girls had many joyful times with their dad. What a sadness, indeed, if it turns out he did this terrible deed.
