I have this book now. It's sitting on the table in front of me but I haven't opened it yet. Has anyone read it? I've been looking online at several sites with information about the shootings, victims, survivors and extracts from the journals of the two shooters. I've also been reading interviews with Sue Klebold on various news sites. The comments at the end of several news articles are more upsetting than the interview - the comments that some people have posted about how she should be damned, how she must have been a terrible mother, etc etc.
an example: "God damn this woman. If she had even vaguely been doing her job as a mom she would have known what her evil child was doing!"
Sue Klebold says:
“I think we like to believe that our love and our understanding is protective, and that ‘If anything were wrong with my kids, I would know.’ But I didn’t know, and it’s very hard to live with that,” she said.
“I felt that I was a good mom. … That he would, he could talk to me about anything,” she continued. “Part of the shock of this was that learning that what I believed and how I lived and how I parented was an invention in my own mind. That it, it was a completely different world that he was living in.”
How many of us, honestly, can relate to this?
It will be interesting to compare thoughts after several of us have read this book.
