This is why it is hard for me to have sympathy for them.
On one hand I can empathize with their trauma and pain over losing a child.
On the other hand, he very likely wasn’t getting the help he should have gotten because of their belief in Scientology and that burden is squarely on their shoulders.
I hope his death will wake some people up..and maybe they will think twice before joining that cult.

amen RummyChick.
It’s a sick cult.
I feel bad for the Travolta family though.
RIP
Please, try to hold up a bit on condemning them.
Our beloved first born daughter died when she was 21. She was diagnosed at 4 years with a rare heart defect, Ebstein’s syndrome.
A few weeks before she died, she wore a heart monitor for 48 hours to assess how well her heart was functioning, and it showed everything to be perfect.
But, she died from a sudden cardiac arrhythmia three weeks later. And none of the cardiologists could figure out why, for there were no early warning signs.
Sometimes we have to reconcile ourselves with just not knowing, even though we desperately want explanations.
God Bless Jett and his parents, for I know the shock, the loss, the desperation they now feel. Life will never be the same again for them. They must carry on for their daughter.
It will take years for them to feel normal again, and even then, it isn’t normal.
