shocked

I just found out today that B., a friend I've been out of touch with for a while, up and left her husband E. and moved out of state. That's shocking enough, but I can't believe she left her little girl, L., (5 years old, I think?) behind with Dad. I know that she was a little flaky, and that she and her husband had their issues, but I'm just completely blown away.

A friend of B's came into the office to talk to me about advertising, and mentioned it as if I knew all about it. I hadn't talked to B & E since August or September of last year, so I was out of the loop. Apparently, an old college boyfriend of B's came back into her life last August, and by NOvember she'd left her husband of 9 or 10 years and her child in Michigan and had moved back to Kentucky with her old flame.

I can't believe it. I don't blame her for trying to find happiness, but the part about leaving L. behind *really* bothers me. I'm just. . . stunned.
