Oh, trust me, I am directing ALL of my anger at Kia. She abused the trust of so many people, and made all of us who thought we were her friends into fools.

But I am very disappointed and hurt that the people who knew - not suspected, but knew - for years didn't step up and say something. Because, honestly, I don't care about Kia's wish to disappear, I care that she hurt a lot of people with her selfishness, and perpetuating a lie doesn't make things better for anyone. We all thought she was dead. We mourned her. I would much rather have known this wasn't the truth years ago.

I'm sure that, just like everything, time will go some way towards healing the wounds that this situation caused. But I'm going to need it, and I feel certain a lot of other people will as well.
