My mother called me a few minutes ago. She said that a couple that are friends of her and my step-father have died.

For what she told, the man killed the wife and then commited suicide next. This happened this morning.

I've never met them in person, but it seems both were very close to my step-dad and had some business deal together.

This is really fucked up. Really fucked up.

It's in these situations that I feel that we humans aren't that rational as we say we are.

how awful

And I don't think we're rational at all. We just tell ourselves we can control our urges, to try to keep society under control. People don't give emotions and hormones enough credit- they're shocked when someone does something thats "animal" --> er hello? What are we?


Anyway in this instance

I going now in a few minutes. My mother is terrified.

i'm Ok...but I'm worried about my mom. She's a very sensitive person. And we as a family never witness this kind of event.

I'm take at least an hour to get home.

MikeMatronik said:

Thats what I thought when I read this - I never seem to "know" anyone who this sorta stuff happens to.

I guess what I mean is I hope you will be ok

susannah said:

Going home now.

Mike...that's horrible. I hope you and your family get through this in the best way possible

Sorry for your parents' loss.

Horrible situation! I'm so glad you're there for your mom, poor dear, I bet this is breaking her heart.

This happened at the University of Washington not to long ago. This women working there was being harrassed and threatened by her ex-boyfriend. She had a restraining order against him, unfortunately a restraining order will not stop bullets. He walked into her office shot her then shot himself, all while classes were in session. It horrible that there are people in this world that would do things like this. Stay strong and you and your family will get through this.

To answer your question, if anyone sexually molested one of my children, they'd be another body in the desert. (it's common where I live and generally a drug deal gone bad)
They're young adults, and No, they never were.
