Hiya. Thanks for commenting. It wasn't easy to post about, but I hated the thought of people still believing this stuff when none of it was true. I undertand that it's complicated though, when you've got other loyalties to consider. It's horrible that any of us were put in this position, really. :(

I hear what you're saying about her being unwell, and I'm sure you're right. Unfortunately, I've already had a fair bit of experience of people in my life who are both mentally unwell, and have hurt those who care about them (and of course, many who haven't) and it's so, so difficult to untangle the reasons behind it, and to separate the illness from the person. Sympathy is not always easy, sometimes it's impossible. Part of me does feel sad, but very distantly. It's hard to know how much of the real Kia any of us even knew. People feel intensely angry and betrayed, and understandably so. I can see the temptation to do something like this, but actually going through with it - the thought is really quite chilling.

Bah, anyway. I'm glad it's out in the open now. Thanks again for commenting, I appreciate it. :)
