Questions are based onthe following passage.Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle's husband,an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packeda small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and ina state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, therehad been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of menand women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or agoodbye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, theirworries and their confused families behind them.
Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearlyas many women were reported missing from home --
the highest in 15 years. Manydid return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and arenow living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form ofdesertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even thefinality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection orfailure. Worse than that ,people can be left with an unfinished marriage, notknowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free tostart a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believesmost departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive."It's typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore otherpeople's pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is ahighly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feelguilty, upset and empty."
