[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 450828, member: 1991"] Situations like this snowball because people in their lives are in continuing denial. If he had not been in denial, maybe something could have been done sooner. But it does sound like she was so seriously distressed and disturbed, that perhaps denial was the only way the husband could cope. It then becomes a learned response until it is almost automatic. A common finding in victims of abuse. So very, very tragic. As for why such people take out other innocent lives - when you feel so bad that you contemplate doing something like this, you can rationalise away any conscience-pricking. You can convince yourself of the rightness of whatever you want to do. Marg [/QUOTE]
