Fatherless Choice #2

The characters in Fatherless that stood out the most to me were Moia, Bill and Maggie Kealey. The reason I think this is because of all the pain and suffering that Moia put the Kealey family through and her eventual suicide which is a prominent problem in todays world. I actaually feel really bad for Moia, mainly because she was sexually abused and as it said in the book she was a "victim soul". Moia didn't choose for this to happen, she was just a victim of someone else's own selfishness. Her dignity as a human being was violated and that led her into a deep depression, which she could not control over, and eventually to her horrific suicide. Also, in a way I feel even worse for Bill and Maggie Kealey. They tried their hardest to try and find out what was wrong with their child. It drove the family crazy for years, riping their family apart one day at a time. Then after all of that they are left with the great pain of the suicide of Moia. Suicide just doesn't effect the person who commits it, it effects all of those who loved them. On top of all this, Bill Kealey will leave his wife, Maggie, soon after Moia's funeral. He was having a affair with his secretary and will be moving in with her.I was really disappointed with Bill, how could he leave his family, he promises to support them but it won't be the same. The Kealey family has been though enough and I see Bill's leaving as a major truing point for the downfall of the family.
