Agreed. It's a tragedy all around but she seems like she's trying to pick away at what he did to her. He murdered her. |
| And one wonders why he grew up to feel as entitled and ennobled as he appeared to feel that he was. Also alcohol, rage, and entitlement are never a good combination. I do not blame the Mom but if she wants her son to TRULY grow as a human being she needs to show remorse for what he has done and than perhaps he will as well. If she latches on some lame excuse well there you go. |
| She needs to study Raskilnikov. Let her son own his guilt and admit to it. |
I agree. I feel her pain, but she needs to accept that intentional or not, her son is responsible for taking someone else's life. She is sorry that Yeardley is dead but does not seem to be sorry that it was her son's fault. It's a tragedy all the way around. |
Anyone know where he is doing his time? |
Wasn't he out drinking with his father all day, the day he killed her? I vaguely remember that. |
yes he was and he had no idea he killed her till the police told him during his interview with them. It was clear he has/had a serious alcohol problem. His reaction was gut wrenching. This was a tragedy of 2 young lives, both cut short. There's nothing but sadness and loss all the way around. |
| Didn't she have some crazy divorce from george;s dad to the point where they were not even allowed to have phone conversations and maybe their were some allegations of verbal and physical abuse? George learned a lot of that behavior at home I think. And women need to really think about the asshole behaviors their husbands model for their kids. She shared the blame in that. |
I think she's modeling her own asshole behaviors by saying that Yeardley's fatal injuries were sustained from falling off a bed. |
I'm embarrassed to admit but my three young boys have fallen out of bed numerous times--sometimes even wrestling on the bed. Nobody has even gotten a concussion. I think he might have been in a truly blackout rage and not remembered events--but those injuries are not consistent with a fall from bed unless the bed was in the roof of the dorm and she fell several stories. I have also been functioning after a college binge with zero recollection the next day so that part could be trie |
| I see both sides of this thread. I do feel for her as a mother. This cannot be easy to have dealt with. And still dealing with. However, I do feel like she is making excuses. The falling off the bed comment really bothered me. Clearly that is NOT what happened, and you are trying to minimize your son's involvement. The emails also clearly show it wasn't a one time mistake, but a pattern of behavior. Yes, you love your son and always will, but you also need to accept what has happened. Don't minimize his behavior. |
