People are funny.... at times; and then other times not so much. I hardly watch daytime television, but I happened to have Oprah on the other day and learned that Tammy Lynn Michaels-Etheridge & Melissa Etheridge have split. I don't know either of them, so I can't say if anyone is at fault or if it was truly an amicable break-up.
I wish them both the best, and hope that they can truly work together when it concerns the kids.
I find it interesting though that Melissa told Oprah that it wasn't fair for her to tell her story without Tammy there to tell her side... hmmm, that's an interesting comment to make. Very PC of her.
I'm not interested in reading what the Tabs have to say.... most of what they write are lies and garbage really. But I did come across Tammy's blog, and seems she is revealing little bits here and there. For some reason, I'm not surprised by those revelations... not sure why.
While I didn't understand the whole age difference thing, I was excited for Tammy none-the-less.... why? Cuz she is from the Midwest.... A Hoosier to be precise! A lesbian. A good actress in her own right. I was excited to see someone from my home state to make it in the "big lights", and married to someone who seems genuinely to be a good match.
While I haven't read any of the rags about their split, I can only imagine what they are saying (Tammy in bed with another... or Poor Melissa, still hasn't found the love she has been searching for). And if I recall, I think I remember reading something about issues with Tammy and FB. It seems folks (fans more likely), were upset at her for just telling it like it is about some topic or another; basically, voicing her own opinion. Either way, she got tired of all the negative backlash and pulled her account from the website.
People are funny in that way.... in the way that, if they don't like what is being said they feel the need to tell that person off. I suppose if Tammy was expressing her opinion on something and some folks were taking it personally, then my guess is whatever she said must have been pretty close to a truth for those people, and they just didn't want to hear it. Maybe... maybe not.
Now comes the breakup and folks will want to point blame... but what if there really isn't any blame to point? Better yet, who are you to point the finger... how did you play a part in the breakup? Were you there when it all went down? Did she call you and tell you what happened? Are you a close relative, or friend? No???? Then be freaking quiet! Stop assuming, pointing, blaming, "rag reporting" on things you have no information on.
People are funny.... and then sometimes not so much. Our need to know... sometimes gets in the way of our true need to just be still and listen. And sometimes, our need to know.... isn't our need to know. This is called not your business. But people are funny, cuz they always have to be, to need, to know, to want, to... you fill in the blank.
So while it saddens me to hear that Tammy and Melissa have decided to split, I wish them the best, and I hope that they are / will be able to come to some kind of common ground when it comes to their children.
Sincerely,
A Native Hoosier
