Once more, with feeling.
These wrenching, sickening stories are coming too fast, too furious and too often.
I think Yellowdog was just trying to make sense of it all...and perhaps even wondering if these horrible murders could have been avoided...with better judgement.
When women are capable of raising children without men, are they then deciding their sons and daughters do not need fathers? If that is the case then perhaps they are wrong and even selfish.
Ms. Underwood sounds as if she was a wonderful mother and a caring human being and I question why she did not see the need for the same characteristics in a father for her children?
Looks like she was working very hard, along with her family, to give her son a good and stable life.
We don't know the story of the relationship that created the baby girl. I will allow that she made a mistake, and was willing to work through it.
No mistake is worth a mother's life, though, and certainly not her children's lives.
Her aunt said that they all learned that he got married recently. Who knows what lies he fed her. Obviously, he has a heart as cold as ice. Gee reminds me of a few folks I've met on Internet forums. :-/
Prayers for her, her children and her family.

How do you know she didn't? How do you know she realized what a jackass the guy was AFTER she got pregnant, and didn't want an abortion? You just don't know enough about this story to make such broad-brushed generalizations.
This is a thread about a DEAD WOMAN and HER SON; try not to cast stones for a couple of hours, if you can.
"When women are capable of raising children without men, are they then deciding their sons and daughters do not need fathers?"
Well considering he's been charged with murdering her it looks like to me she made the right decision to reject him.
Very thoughtful and well said.

I agree. It is heartbreaking and impossible to understand how anyone could take the life of a mother and her children. And it does seem as though we are seeing more of these stories.
