Having his father at home would cure his mental illness?

There is a person close to the family that is saying that she had begun the process of committing him and that he was very angry about that.

That person believes that is what set him off.

My daughter adopted a kid like that and I can tell you that the fact that her husband was always there, and still is many years later, made zero difference to that kid.

Personally, I had a quite tumultuous relationship with my mother when I was growing up as a teen. If not for my father...a strong, forthright devout Catholic...things would have gone badly.

I eventually grew to really appreciate and deeply love my mother. But there was a time when that was the opposite of how I felt.

I can appreciate what you have written here.

I was raised by my mother, no father in sight. And I was a liitle shit head at times. But I still have made a great living, married for many years, we have two successful boys, and are enjoying life as much as we can. Lack of a father, or wife, makes it harder as any single parent can tell you. But the kid had issues, sometimes evil is just evil no matter what you do, say, or try. Don’t blame the missing dad for this one, many factors came into play besides that.

Adam Lanza shot and killed the people in Newtown because Adam Lanza was evil. I saw the second half of the twentieth century personally and anyone familiar with the twentieth century, even a quarter of it, knows that evil exists. Lanza was simply evil.

1. It’s Newtown. Not New Town.
2. Paragraphs are your friend.

Please repost. Then I’ll read it. Then I’ll make other snarky comments.

Thanks.

I agree. This kid had major daddy issues. In our increasingly misandristic society, this will become more and more common despite their assault weapon ban.

[SeminoleCounty]

The only reason I do not go with the “1 parent” theme is that we had 10’s of millions of absent fathers and working moms during a very stressful and restrictive time between 1942-1945 and did not have these problems

This guy and his mom both had major mental health issues. I just hope our government does not hide the facts from the grieving families

You raise a very good point. Many have blamed the availability of guns for these mass shootings.Guns have been a part of American culture forever, yet these rampages were almost nonexistent in the days when guns were everywhere and there were no gun laws. Poverty has been blamed as well, yet there were not mass shootings during the Great Depression. There have always been mentally ill people as well. The differences I see between now and then are the rejection of biblical values, moral decay, the breakdown of the family, failure to discipline children, and a devaluation of human life.

His father was not living at home and no matter what anybody can say about how good a father can be while not living with the mother,a father separated from his sons cannot be as effective at being a dad as if he were living at home and working with his wife to raise his kids. (truthczar2000)

You ought to take into account that perhaps Mrs. Lanza's preoccupation with the behaviors of her son drove out her husband and her son. Maybe. Write your own scenario on this.

I am a professional scientist whose marital problems, despite my wishes, precluded being able to keep the family together. Your theorizing is kind of loose her. Watch it.

a son in a home with no father, and the son has anger issues. I believe that all sons have an innate longing for a strong father or father figure."""""......

Perfectly explains B. Obama..and his illusionary "Dreams of My Father" and his narcissistic personality. He has play acted and bullied his way through life. The Great Pretender, who hates everyone but himself.

I believe you have correctly described the Lanza home.

“we had 10’s of millions of absent fathers and working moms during a very stressful and restrictive time between 1942-1945”

The change in Culture aside;Studies have shown that children know the difference between a father who CAN;T be there versus a father who(discards any vows he made and) CHOOSES not to be there.

On second thought, a Glock 18C Machine Pistol might be the better buy.

My daughter & husband also adopted a boy (mulatto), who is the product of a rape. I often wonder what will happen later when he wants to know and try to find his father.

There is no way he or anyone can know that, I have discussed this with my daughter and told her one day he may try and get angry. Will see. For now he has a very loving home and is well liked at school. Likes to do all the man stuff of hunting and fishing, so far so good.

BINGO! You nailed it!!!!!

I guess I disagree. Lanza was 20 years old when he killed himself. His parents had been married for 28 years before divorcing 3 years ago when Lanza was 17. The divorce was amicable and the father was still a factor when the deed took place. It sounds like the parents were still working jointly to get their adult son as much help (obviously not enough) as was possible. Certainly, I don't know what the home environment was specifically, however, I don't think anyone would say his father abandoned him.
