Provide your analysis on a woman's life choices and struggles, including her past mistakes and poor decisions as a parent. Also, comment on the writer's response to someone asking questions about her disappearance.
Obviously you don't understand the metaphor. She has obviously played with matches in her life, says so in the article. She is or has been romantically involved with a sex offender while trying to raise small children. She has had a problem with using illegal drugs. All of these would be considered very bad decisions when raising small children. And by the way unless you feel like enlightening the rest of us idiots on the nature of her disappearing trick. Please do tell! Otherwise smoke a bowl and STFU.
