“Well, really, what does one expect his mother to say?”
“Right you are. This woman is in shock, and she probably still has images of her son as an innocent six-year-old. Unless the mother says something really outrageous, it is best to just quietly ignore her.”
What can you expect, she is his mother. She’ll likely never get over this. In some point in time she will even perhaps blame herself, because she cannot change what he did.
Remember Rosmary’s Baby. Her downfall was her love for her child. Satan makes use of that maternal instinct.
Good post. If my sons did something like this I would have a hard time believing it.
But if I had seen a long term change in their beliefs and attitude I would have to believe it.
