Scott Michaels lies down on his bed, wondering if the decisions he made in the last year would be worth it. He had left his family for someone else and changed who he was completely. He pondered his situation for a while. He stared at his new wife asleep beside him. He wondered something for a short split second. “Was I right?”
His entire family was disgusted and disappointed with whom he had become. People stopped trying with him, and there became fewer and fewer people in his life who liked him. He feels a bit of loneliness in his heart and can not avoid the empty feeling inside of him. He hates the feeling and it makes him a rather angry person when the reality of who he is get’s to him. Who he was had been replaced by someone who he was not and he became lost in a whirlwind of confusion.

Scott Michaels had been questioning himself for a while. His life had been full of great things, but for some reason, he wanted something else. So all of the sudden, he started cheating on his wife and started dating someone who worked with him. Scott’s new person he was dating had a lot of impact on changing who Scott was and making him confused. A little while after, Scott found an opportunity and then in May, Scott told everyone the news that him and his wife were getting divorced. It was super hard for everyone, but the worst part was that he wasn’t the same.
“He used to be the best dad in world, but when he started dating Sara and we found out about the divorce, he became the worst person in the world,” says William Michaels, one of Scott Michaels’ kids.
Whenever family or any person who visited Scott, it was always a different experience for them. He was just not a good or fun person. He suddenly got married privately, and there was no sign of where the real Scott Michaels went.
People felt bad for the people who Scott had hurt as well as the people who had to deal with them. They were shocked to see all of the horrible things that went on, and all of the negativity that surrounded them. Some of things he did would be considered abuse or mistreatment, and it would break a person if they experience it. It’s hard to see a person change, and his family was full of sadness and a bit of disbelief of what he had become. But the hardest thing about Scott’s transformation, was that people missed the person he was.
“Nothing has changed at all,” Scott Michaels says, trying to convince others as well as himself that he was the same person.
It didn’t work. Scott Michaels had been changed and had a horrible attitude to others. He started to hurt others mentally and sometimes physically, and began thinking that him and his wife were better than everyone else. He was brainwashed of the good person he was, and became a bad person. He became lost and afraid, so he just did horrible things and convinced himself that he was right. He would hurt his own kids and yell at them, trying to make them hurt because that is what makes him feel better and stronger. He pushed relatives away, and they slowly stopped interacting with him. Out in public, he made fun of people who might have done something that was different or weird for him. He felt content with just him and his wife, and really gave up a lot. Looking at what he was changing into, the problems he would face would keep growing.

Today, Scott’s kids are done with him. They see nothing in him now, and are working on separating from him completely. They talked with authorities and professionals and are narrowing down their time with him. Sometimes, they get overwhelmed with the situation. They feel a flood of sadness and anger, and feel really bad about themselves and their situation. In the next few years, there will be no more of them visiting Scott Michaels.
Scott Michaels has left behind all traces of who he was before he changed. His family couldn't keep in touch with him, and he was a abhorrent, hated person. If people looked back and saw the difference of who he was three years ago, they would be shocked. Scott Michaels had changed and it really goes to show what can happen to a person when they make a bad decision. They can change a person, and make them someone they are not. That’s what happened to Scott Michaels.
Sometimes, Scott Michaels will remember what his life was like before the craziness happened, but he still thinks he made the right decision for himself.
“No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells all. Integrity is everything,” says an unknown author.
When Scott is alone, he tends to think right a little. He is himself, and is the best he can be. However, Scott is hardly ever alone long enough to make a good decision. Sometimes, people might see him in deep thought because he can have a lot on his mind. If he could redeem himself by sticking to who he is and making his own decisions for what he wants, he could potentially be a good person. However, it would take a lot for Scott Michaels to be who he was originally and it would be a process just as crazy as the process in which he changed who he was completely.
People make bad decisions. It’s what can happen to a lot of people. Some people might go through a lot and might want something else. People need to learn to love what they have, and stick with the people they love. When people take a misleading path in life, they change. They give up on others, because they think they can be happier with something else. The reality is, a person get’s more from being himself, than they do when they act like someone. When people are staying themselves, they become the best person they can be. Instead of getting caught up in what others are doing, people should stay true to themselves and things will turn into the way they should be.
As June Ahern says, “How hurtful it can be to deny one’s true self and live a life of lies just to appease others."
