I have experience with the hatred & anger that is felt when you lose a child. My 18 year old son was killed by a Mexican & I hated all Mexicans with a hatred so terrible that the thought of it embarrassed me now. I could not sit in the courtroom with DW if I believed him to be the murderer of my daughter. Someone said the VD's had to be coached on how to act, that person needs to do some reading about the stages & effects of grief. If anyone mistakes my reply as a defense of the VD's lifestyle they are mistaken.

I don't recall mentioning anything about their lifestyle. I only commented on how odd it was for her to be so friendly to someone she is supposed to believe was her child's murderer. I maintain--if it had been me, I could not have looked at him and smiled as she did. No way.

The anger and/or sorrow can completely dominate one's life for while at least...I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Honestly, I don't see how any parent can sit through murder trials....may it helps some heal.

Stages of grief

Denial, anger, negotiation with God, resignation, acceptance..
