"Jonathan was the sensitive one." Well, he certainly outgrew that, now, didn't he?
I'm sick and tired of excuses for crime. When will a person ever take responsibility for their own actions???? It's always someone or something else's fault. Sickening. As an abused child myself, I, nor any of my siblings has ever even thought of anything like this!
I agree with you. I came from a family with some pretty intense emotional manipulation(abuse?). I probably have more consideration for others, than I do myself. I to can not conceive of taking another's life outside of a defensive/war situation. And it's not something I'd savor even in that instance.
