I do. Several in fact, which is kind of odd since I’m such a goody two shoes.
A boy I grew up with (family friends) committed a horrific crime. I was completely stunned. As we had already lost touch long before then, nothing changed but my opinion of him.
A guy my ex-husband grew up with, a good friend of his whom we’d had over to our house, ended up being a serial killer. Needless to say, that freaked me the fuck out. We’d lost touch with him prior to that, so again, no relationship change.
And the one that makes me saddest of all, my half-brother. He’d been in a lot of trouble as a teenager, after our father died, but seemed to have turned his life around. Married, decent job, kids, a house in the burbs. When he lost his job and was unable to find another, he reverted to old ways pretty quickly. He is now in federal prison for selling drugs and guns to an undercover agent. His wife was arrested, too, for procuring the guns for him (he was already a convicted felon). We aren’t terribly close, but it just breaks my heart. I still love him, obviously, but I just want to shake the shit out of him. I haven’t quite come to terms with this one, yet, and am not sure how it will play out in our future relationship. :(
