[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone remember the Madonna Badger case? Her three children and parents all died in a fire in CT on Christmas morning. They ultimately decided that the contractor boyfriend was at fault because the house was under construction and there were no smoke alarms. However, the house was condemned before Madonna could conduct her own investigation. Anyway... the father of those three girls initiated the lawsuit against the contractor boyfriend (an extension of guilt passed on to the mother). The father subsequently died a few years later and I believe it was of a broken heart. There is no way that you can reasonably forgive someone who you believe caused the death of or is responsible for the death of your child; grandpa, mother, etc... If you are forced to forgive someone that is in your life in any way (past or present), I believe it will kill you. All I'm saying is... I believe that there is no way that they parents can move on and also forgive grandpa. You will never look at him the same EVER again. They have to blame RC to survive as a family.[/quote] First, in the case that you are citing the contractor WAS at fault. He scooped the ashes into a paper bag. Staying in a house with no working smoke alarms is the fault of the mother, but that isn’t what started the fire. The ashes did. Second, do you really think all other parents who lose children in accidents (preventable or not) just die? If the parents don’t want to forgive Grandpa, that’s on them. But creating a false narrative and publicly shopping it around is gross. And to then trying to profit off of your baby’s death is just sickening. [/quote] I'm not on the side of the parents at all. I don't believe RC to be at fault. I also believe that what the lawyer and parents are doing is gross. No. I'm not saying that all parents who lose children just die. What I was trying to get across is that when you have to forgive someone that close to you for something really tragic, but you can't... it can kill you. You like the person. You love the person. You respect the person. The person is close family. That same person killed your child. How do you humanly forgive that same person. By all accounts, Madonna Badger and her ex-husband had a great relationship. He loved her once. They were still friends. In each other's lives. Had history. Sure it was the contractor's fault and by some extension the mother's. All I'm saying is that his inability to forgive and coupled with his grief was overwhelming. The man just died.[/quote]
