Passage 11 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 agood-bye 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. Many didreturn home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are nowliving a new life somewhere under a different identity. To those left behind this form of desertionis a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality ofdeath might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure.Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowingwhether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start afresh life. Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believesmost departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “It’stypical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’spain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highlyaggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty,upset and empty.” The Salvation Army's InvestigationDepartment has a 70 percent success rate in tracking missing people down.According to Lt. Co. Bramwell Pratt, head of the department, men and women runaway for very different reasons though lack of communication is often the biggestmotive. “The things that disturb a man’s personality are problems like beingtied up in debt or serious worries about work. And some women make impossibledemands on their husbands. Women usually leave for more obvious reasons butfear is at the root of it. Men are more often prepared to give their marriageanother try than women, but we are aware that, for some wives, it would be atotal impossibility to return after the way they've been treated.” 66.
