I actually thought about this the other day. With our parents constantly fighting because my mother was a cheating whore...it didn't really sit well with us.
We watched our dad suffer for years due to my mothers infedelity. For me, it gave me major trust issues and committment issues and blah blah blah. My brother, him watching my dad put up with it and sit around and let it happen....it must have been hard. Your parents are supposed to be your main influence in life. Watching that go on right on the other side of our door, was very hard.
He did show emotion but not much because whenever my dad showed emotion, it just ended up with him getting hurt. So my brother slowly stopped caring. I guess thats why IF THIS REALLY HAPPENED...that when emma recieved text messages from another guy...that probably made him snap. IF HE DID IT. Im not saying he did or not but IF he did then that would explain alot.
Unfortunately I have to go for today, damn library computers only give you an hour a day to use internet. so I must go but I will try on get on tuesday.
So this could be a MAJOR FACTOR in why Sam reacted as he did, if he felt Emma was cheating on him, talking to other guys behind his back, making fun of him in text msgs etc, he very well could have snapped after years and years of watching your mother do this to your father, he felt he needed to do something about this when your father didnt after all those years of just letting it happen with your mom. Sam's anger at his mom for cheating and his frustration with your father for not doing anything about it, plus Emma doing possibly the same thing to him, along with the rumor that you father had told Sam not to bother coming home is he went to VA, created my perfect storm theory where many many things came together, to a head or boil so to speak, resulting in these murders. This tells me once again that Sam is not a cold blooded killer but basically had a mental snap/breakdown and did some things he likely regrets terribly at this time.
Thanks for that insight Sarah, very helpful and appreciated.
Well yes but it is one thing to have someone with whom you have a deep relationship with to stab you in the back and another to have some online 16-year old "girlfriend" do it to you and we still don't know the whole story since wasn't Sam making out with another girl at the concert?
Yes there is no doubt about that and I appreciate that you want to consider there being more to it, in fact that is exactly how I feel also, its not as black and white as we would like it to be so we can box it up label it, put it on the shelf and sleep well now but I see a conntection at least in part, with how Sam reacted and all the anger and frustration he had pent all up due to his mother and father's problems.
I dont think this is the end of the discussion but it does give us something to further work with in trying to understand what Sam was going through.
HIM MAKING OUT WITH THE OTHER GIRL at the concert could also be explained as him knowing how painful that was to his own father when she did it to his mom, so it was the only way he knew how to really try and get under Emma's skin for what she had did to him since he say effective such behavior was when his mom did it to his dad. Maybe?
I am glad youre here GG I always appreciate your input here and at the other site we chat at.
