Damn migraine

It's colouring my whole day - and my mood.

Went to physio today and was having a chat with the remedial masseuse... made me totally lose faith in the world. (And my mom wonders why we don't have kids yet!)

There's this couple who split up in May this year. The husband carries on stalking the wife though they've agreed to separate. He's violent, abusive and her only defence is a restraining order. Like that ever stops anyone. But no lawman wants to take this any further. He's no real threat, they say. Last week (could be the week before), he shows up at her place, attacks and rapes her then leaves. She finds her way to the police station to report the assault, leaving the kids with her own father. Well, while she's out, the estranged husband returns... The wife comes home, accompanied by police officers, to this scene: the supposedly 'restrained' husband has stabbed both his (and her) children to death (aged 2 and 4, if I remember correctly) and also murdered their grand-father before turning the knife upon himself. I mean, WTF? And we just sit back, absord the news as normal.

This is so close to a CSI Miami EP I watched last night, it's disturbing.

Wow, I guess that was a rant.
