If a person chooses to share details of their private lives then they have to be prepared to face the fact that not everyone will be sympathetic. I'm reminded of some people's attitude towards Sofia Leal who received little sympathy or understanding for the situation she found herself in due to this case.
According to Kate McCann any woman facing a similar problem will just have to bite the bullet and get over it;
Deep down, though, I knew there were only two solutions: bringing Madeleine back or conquering my mental block. Since the first was not within my control, it was up to me to try to train my mind and my thought processes. So that is what I applied myself to doing. [madeleine]
Ms Leal was of the opinion that the Policia Judiciaria failed her husband and it seems her beef was very much with them as affirmed in the very unkind open letter she penned to the mother of a missing child.
Snip It was with astonishment that he learned that he had been passed over by other colleagues (coordinators as it happens, to tell the truth), because he had not managed to get himself into "professional training" settings. And yes, Madam Kate, my husband spent his life working, in the midst of complex investigations. He was the man in Portugal who seized most drugs, but as he didn't have the time to parade himself in the corridors of the PJ's institution, he was not promoted. A disgrace, madam, a disgrace!

I once suggested to him the creation of a fund, or something else for dealing with these extraordinary (
work related ???) expenses, but he never listened to me. While we too had our mortgage to pay...A disgrace, Madam Kate, a disgrace!

This year, in May, we started the process of moving our family to Portimao. My husband's holiday was supposed to start the day after your daughter disappeared. "For obvious reasons," that didn't happen. I started a new job, I looked at houses, I made the move and I tried to settle our daughters into new schools with new routines.
All that alone, without any support from my husband, who, for obvious reasons, was looking for your daughter, Madam Kate. In October, on the day of his birthday, a week after our daughters had started the new school year, Gonçalo Amaral was dismissed and returned to Faro. It was supposed to be a time of the family getting together, but in fact it was even more of a separation. Isn't that a disgrace?
