The End of Strife.<\/a> She wrote the blog for nine days in October 2005 and then stopped. She has written nothing since October 18, 2005. I am hoping that either someone knows her and will write to me to tell me she is okay or that someone will write to me and tell me that they know who she is and they are wondering where she is too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If you look at the blog, you will see that her writing is well done,
\ncarefully thought out, and even passionate in her attention to what she
\nwas writing about. She wrote a considerable amount in nine days and
\nthen …. nothing. The writing appears unfinished. It just seemed that
\nshe intended to continue with it. She lives or lived in Ontario,
\nCanada. She described herself as an editor, a professional writer, a
\nresearcher, an artist, the divorced mother of three children. She is in
\nher mid-forties. <\/p>\n
She has been going through a bitter separation and divorce for the
\nlast four years. There are links on her blog to organizations that
\nprovide counseling to victims of domestic violence. <\/p>\n
In the arts her interest was fine arts and portraits. How many women
\nwould fit all these criteria? She referred to herself as "M" to
\nmaintain her anonymity. Is that the first letter of her name? She has
\ntwo sons and one daughter. She refers to her sons as J and T. She
\nrefers to her daughter as D. In 2003 her daughter was in high school.
\nHer daughter was becoming alienated from her. She referred to her
\nhusband as S. I wonder if she saw any irony in their letters being S
\nand M? Probably just a coincidence.<\/p>\n
I have mentioned this blogger once before when I first wondered why
\nshe had stopped writing. Since then I contacted the police in Toronto
\nand Ottawa and also one of the organizations that provides counseling
\nto women who are in situations where they are being abused. One
\npoliceman has responded to me and has tried to find out who she is
\nthrough their tech unit but due to confidentiality laws and no evidence
\nof a crime having occurred other than her not writing her blog, he
\ncan’t find out who she is and verify whether she is alive or not. I
\nhave been concerned that her ex-husband may have murdered her. That is
\ndramatic and I hope that I am worried for nothing. I would like it if I
\ndiscovered that it is just me being silly and worried for nothing.<\/p>\n
The organization that counsels women did not know who she is. They
\nsaid that there have been no murders reported in Toronto that match the
\ndescription of who she is. There weren’t any in Ottawa either according
\nto the policeman. He has been very kind to look into this as much as he
\nhas for me. I was expecting not to be taken seriously at all. I hadn’t
\nheard from the Toronto police.<\/p>\n
I did email her on October 19 when I was just writing to say hello
\nand then again on December 22 to inquire as to her wellbing and express
\nmy concern. I never received a response. I have also tried to contact
\nblogger by phone to see if they could get a message to her but there
\nwas no way to talk to any live person at blogger.<\/p>\n
I know that people from Ontario do visit my blog. I know that if
\nsomething happened to her, it might be something normal that just
\nhappens in life that either incapacitated her or caused her to be too
\nbusy to write. An accident? An illness? Some emergency in her family? <\/p>\n
What alarms me is that the circumstances that she was describing are
\nso often the kind of circumstances that end up with someone being
\nkilled because a husband can’t tolerate his ex-wife trying to keep
\ncustody of her children. Some people just can’t stand it if the person
\nwho leaves them just wants to have a good life and stay in a
\nrelationship with their children. I am worried about this complete
\nstranger. I am wondering if she had many friends and if she would be
\nmissed if she suddenly disappeared? I am wondering if an ex-husband
\nmight have given some reason why she wasn’t around. I am wondering if
\nthere is just some reasonable explanation for her sudden quitting of
\nher blog? Did she break her arm? Was she in a car accident and is
\nrecuperating in a hospital? <\/p>\n
Anyway, this is a longshot. A very longshot. And probably very silly. But since when am I afraid of being seen as silly? \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
