[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 408333, member: 1233"] The family members of people who commit crimes often pay huge prices. It is totally unfair. From the time of the crime the family is scrutinized at all times by very judgemental eyes. The press often interprets their actions to have whatever the worst motive/reasoning/outcome can be given. That part of it is rarely something that is ever taken into account and no matter what the family does it is wrong in the eyes of the press and thus much of the world. It hoovers mightily. Heck, how many of us have felt that scrutiny and judgement based on the things our difficult children have done? I know that all sorts of grief and scrutiny came my way because my older bro was such a difficult child. At times he got so bad I was not allowed to go to certain friends' homes. they sure were not allowed to come to ours and I was tarred by his actions and thought to be a "bad influence" in spite of doing NONE of those things and condoning NONE of them. Heck, if I was five minutes late for school in HS they called my mom to say I was playing hooky (NEVER, not even once, did that!) but my bro once had 58 tardies in a 9 week period - late to school and late coming back from lunch meant 2 tardies some days. He also had more than 8 absences that quarter!! My parents were NEVER notified until it was on his report card, but let me be five min late and they were bugging my mom. It is what it is. I don't have netflix so I didn't know they had the movie about Dahmer's father. I am sure it is fictionalized but it does show a different angle on the entire course of events. [/QUOTE]
