I"m not normally superstitious, but I'd raze that home and start again.

My guess is it sold undervalue, and with what looks like a major redo. thats probably why

[Anonymous]

Yeah, two separate unrelated incidents? That's a sign to just tear it down and bring in a representative from every major religion to do un-curse it.

What was the previous murder there?

I am surprised it sold. I grew up near a murder house. People claimed it was very haunted. It never sold and 20 years later it was torn down. In high school I knew kids who would break into it and have parties.

I used to work with the mother of the little girl who was murdered. We all felt horrible for her and went out of our way to support her. Everybody reacts to tragedy differently, though, and her reaction was challenging for the people around her who were genuinely trying their best to help her.

I think I understand where she was coming from, though, and hope she eventually worked through her anger to find some peace. It really made me think - we expect victims to act noble and gracious, they're sort of forced into that stereotype. But what if a victim is just furious about being a victim? That's just as valid a reaction to a tragedy as any other, but our culture isn't very flexible about letting people - especially women - react to horrible, unfair circumstances with anger.

Are you sure you're posting on the right thread!?

I get it. 10 years ago, my mother almost died, and for the few hours when we're not sure if she was alive or dead, I was absolutely furious. Part of it was that my stepfather, her husband completely dropped the ball in regards to decision making, it was all dropped on me. Mostly it was that my mother was young, healthy and the sort of person who goes out of her way to help others, even if she doesn't know you. I was so angry that something terrible and out of her control stole her (almost) from us, I couldn't even deal with it. Thinking about it now, and I'm getting angry again.

I can't even imagine how angry I'd be if it were my child who was murdered. Anger is a perfectly valid expression of grief and being female shouldn't mean you are only allowed to mourn in one socially acceptable way.

Yes, a father and daughter were murdered in the house that's the subject of this thread. I'm writing about the mother of the little girl who was murdered.

Exactly! Many of us react with grief and sorrow, but we're not all cut from the same mold. It must be horrible for a mother to lose her child and feel unable to mourn in the way that comes naturally to her because that way just happens to be unacceptable to other people.

I'm not sure about this, from what I remember the principal was trolling Craigslist for sex (isn't that correct?) it seems like you are seriously asking for trouble by doing that.
I'm not trying to downplay his death, but that's not like some random murder out of the blue...
What are the details of the 1st murder? I don't remember and there wasn't anything on the link other than the names.
