[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like the remarriage, not the divorce, killed their relationship. So common in the SN world for the dad to move on and get a "life redo". Especially when the SN children are sons. I think a subset of fathers are ashamed of their "defective" sons and want to distance themselves.[/quote]

Yeah, he got a "life redo" until his son sucked him back in by doing what he did.

I actually felt more sympathy for the dad before he did the interview.  The article made it seem like the father was trying to distance himself even now and no other purpose.  It certainly didn't answer why Adam Lanza did it.[/quote]

17:36 again. I agree. The article is supposed to be about Peter Lanza searching for answers, but I didn't see much of that in the piece. Lanza wanted to control the narrative so he selected a sympathetic writer who didn't ask him any tough questions. Why didn't Solomon ask why the Lanzas let Adam give up on medication after trying one med for three days? Why didn't he ask if the family tried family therapy prior to or after the divorce? Why didn't he ask Peter Lanza if he was really okay with all those guns in the house? [/quote]

Additionally, I think Adam's parents should have considered hospitalization for him. Perhaps they were consulting with professionals who don't support hospitalization except in the most extreme cases, but I don't think Adam should have been allowed to shut himself away in a basement and isolate himself within his own home to this degree. Doesn't seem much different from 100 years ago when those with mental illness were locked in an attic. [/quote]
