I donāt know what goes through these peopleās minds. And in a way Iām glad because if I did Iād worry about myself. All I can tell, you that whatever shit weāve gone through as a family weāve dealt with it as a family. And have come to learn over the years that there is always someone who can help. Have I rowed with the wife? Of course I have but Iāve never had homicidal thoughts towards her or decided to harm the kids to get back at her.
At the end of the day who knows? There are a pleterra of reasons this could have happened but I cannot justify taking a whole family out for any of them.
No i think it has to be a perfect storm of a possessive psycho or otherwise mentally ill person thats partner finally breaks free or challenges them.
Or someone with mental illness of some sort who hits really hard times and feels they cannot support the family and convinces themselves that this is the best way.
The thought that you couldnāt let your kids grow up in a world without you and the pain it would cause them were you to killyourself/split with the missus is fucked up but who knows how far away anyone is. A run of bad luck, some family tragedy, losing a job marital problems. Any combination of that shit could flip a fella who was previously normal. Fuck that shit lads. Hug your loved ones tonight.
Case in Wexford a few years back down to the wife having an affair apparently. Husband flipped when found out and killed her, the kids, himself while burning house down. Nuts.
Made one promise with the wife when we got hitched. No matter how bad the row was, the heads always laid down on the same bed. Hasnāt let me down yet.
