Midlife crisis is a thing in itself. One day you realize 20 years have passed, your spouse is no longer the person you married, you don't like your kids, you hate your job and -- here's the crisis part -- it dawns on you that this is it and you'll follow your current trajectory of quiet unhappiness for the rest of your life.

In reaction some people buy a Harley, some seek escape in adultery, some commit suicide... and a few disappear and start a new life.
