Banksying is the newest trend of basically ending a relationship but in even worse terms. There was a song in the 1960’s by Neal Sedaka entitled “Breaking up is Hard to Do.” It was very popular but it seems in this era it is much worse. Originally people confronted each other and said it was over. Eventually it moved on with the internet with an email. Then along came cell phones and people would text ‘the end.’ Next came ghosting and finally banksying. I think this is much worse. They completely disappear from the other person’s life. Not only that they erase all traces of their relationship. If someone really cared for the other person, this has to be extremely difficult. How do they cope with it? They need time to grieve and get past it. Look what suddently happened to Nicole Kidman. All of a sudden she is getting divorced and Keith Urban is seeing someone else. She didn’t even have time to grieve. What is worse is that it is very public and somewhat humiliating for her. What happened to empathy? What I cannot understand is how you can care about a person and then basically toss them aside with no regard for their feelings. Don’t you agree? There were none of those terms during the Good Gus era. Treating each other with respect was key both in that time and as part of the series. It is available in paperback and e-book. “Misplaced Trust” may have bankysing between families. Try to read it in e-book before it becomes too dark too early.
