Don’t mind me

Heard the one about the LJer who is accused of killing her mother?

Let’s move beyond the tragedy itself for a second.

Somehow, seeing all those comments on her LJ from people spewing vitriol…hmm.

What do they gain by that?

I swear, there are days when I dream of world annihilation by fire, by ice, by God’s hand. I know these people see pain incarnate here, and I want to let them go.

I don’t want to be here anymore, in that space of anger. I don’t want to change the world. Let’s let it rot and die.

I’ll know better about all this tomorrow, but this is where I am tonight.

    Re: tragic

    too often, it ends up with someone getting physically hurt, and more often, emotionally hurt.

    say — how’d you find this post? i’m glad you did, just curious.

    It’s amazing how insane that time of your life is…. it’s a messed up time in a kids and a parents life.

    I think the toxic comment was right… gounding for a B+….. not enough love in that house.

    i couldn’t bring myself to peruse, but tonie did, and found that the parenting was hyper-controling (food withheld because the mother said she was fat, grounded for weeks for getting a B+, etc.). i think that must have been a toxic houshold, and probably both mother and daughter were desperately in need of help.

    i wish i could go back in time and say to her, ‘you’re out of here SO soon. it doesn’t feel like it, but this last year or so is NOTHING, and then you’re free in the world and not under her thumb.’ the lack of perspective that made her feel that trapped and desperate is just about the saddest part of it.

    No one seems to be wondering what was up with this girl. Was she abused? She was certainly mentally ill. Very mentally ill. Who knows what else she was caught up in?>

    But just lets hate instead.

    in one of the news stories i read, she confessed. ‘Course, I can’t find it now.

    The vitriol? Possibly a sense of superiority or maybe some outlet for the rage they feel at… some sense of selfishness in killing another human?

    I feel sorry for the girl in a way – she has to live with what she did for the rest of her life — even after she’s dealt with whatever issues she has (assuming she ever gets a chance to).
