Wow, that's harsh. People's lives change, their priorities change, maybe she realized that at
that moment in her life, work was not as important than life. Maybe before that stage, it was. Maybe something happened in her life changed her perspective. It happens.
Your reply seems to suggest that if she didn't realize that early in her career, she must be blind (ie, stupid). But what if early in her career, that was ok? That career was the most important thing, and now, things shifted, and it's no longer.
If some one told me this, it would doubly reinforce that the decision to leave is a good one. Meaning, I would want to get away from that person, as soon as possible.
