There is a lot we don't know about Taylor's life and the people who are a part of her world. Many of us (myself included) have tried to come up with our own answers to fill those voids. At the end of the day it's all speculation and we are left with possibilities, but no hard facts.
In my life, there is a young woman who struggles with addiction. When she disappears, she leaves her kids behind. I raised her daughter for three and a half years during one of these times. Eventually she got clean and came home. She set up house, took her daughter back, had a son and was fine for awhile. Then she relapsed and took off again. Her daughter now lives with another relative and her son is with his father. It's sad and painful, but it's the truth.
As this is my experience with missing persons, I had to ask myself, does Taylor have a history of addiction? Could this be a reason for her leaving? I didn't want to come right out and ask because I know it's a touchy subject and sometimes there is a lot of denial in these situations. I originally dismissed the idea because we've been told that she hasn't disappeared like this before and no one has called to say "hey, I saw her here or there, doing this or that", but when I see people saying things like "help Taylor come home", that's where my mind goes.
My husband's ex wife disappeared a time or two. Her situation was mental health. He once came home to discover that she had taken their children and driven to another state in pursuit of something that only existed in her mind. Luckily, she was only gone a couple of days, but it could have turned out a lot differently. A lot of people struggle with these issues in this day and age, so I was not surprised to see people here asking about it in Taylor's case.
A friend's son went missing about a year ago. She was frantic because he is hearing impaired and he had left his hearing aids at her house. Because he was an adult and nothing seemed suspicious, his case didn't get much attention. My friend contacted the media, but they weren't that interested. So she took to social media and begged for help to find him for at least two weeks, maybe three. All of her friends and family shared her missing posts. Finally, a hospital employee saw one of her posts and contacted her. Her son had been beaten and was admitted to the hospital unconscious in another state. He had been lying in ICU that whole time. Thankfully there was a happy ending and he is fine now.
It is not my intent to upset anyone here. I'm merely sharing what I know of voluntarily missing individuals. Life is hard and stressful. No one is perfect. Sometimes bad things happen.
My point with all of this is that if we are to help find Taylor, we need the facts. She has been gone too long. No matter what happened or how it happened, her well-being needs to be verified.
It's been over a month without contact now. I hope Taylor is out there somewhere alive and well. What worries me is that if she's not...if something bad has happened, a month is a lot of time for evidence to disappear. I know it's hard for her loved ones to think along those lines because they just want her back and for things to be the way they used to be. No one wants their lives turned upside down, but something has to be done.
I hope I have made some kind of sense with this. I just think in all this time if no one has heard from her or anything about her, that something is very wrong and it's time to act.
