She has a white thing in her hair, my grandma wears them too because of the church she used to go to with my grandpa (he passed away a couple of years ago) this church is a “profética” one ? Like evangelist but there are prophets that pray for you (while possessed by the holy spirit) God uses them to speak to you in “tongues”. My point is I’ve heard and seen and EXPERIENCED this type of voices “possessions” that this prophets perform. IT IS REAL, It happened to me. FUNNY THING? I started to watch your channel a few months ago when I was diagnosed with BPD, ADHD and depersonalization disorder. I still don’t understand what happened to me (doesn’t involve violence or anything) and I’m really into learning mental illness, psychology and understanding how the relation kind-spirit?? Works. THIS VIDEO IS CRAZY FOR ME, since it makes me feel less crazier if that makes any sense. AMAZING VIDEO, I LOVE EWU❤🎉

I saw this comment as soon as I heard that part of the video and remembered the father who was knowledgeable on guns said he re-loaded an empty magazine, thank you!

​@@iveth8047hello, do you think that definitely means the mom is in that church or could it just be a fashion item that she likes to keep her hair out of her face? I'd also like to ask you if you don't mind, when you say BPD do you mean bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder because the acronym can be used for either. I hope you're being supported well by specialists trained in your conditions and also that you have a personal support base of family and friends. I'm not sure if you actively belong to that church and I don't want to offend you however I don't trust any evangelist types. In fact I don't trust organised religion of any sort and I want you to be careful, look after yourself and don't blindly trust someone just because you know they're a Christian. Unfortunately there are shady characters that profess to being good Christians when they're anything but. Take care x

Same

I thought the same x

You’ve never lost a child, have you? My daughter was murdered 6 years ago and to this day, I cannot talk about the event without breaking into tears and totally losing it! So, the interview with the parents was quite disturbing, especially HER MOTHER never even breaking voice when she speaks of her daughter being murdered by her son! There is something strange going on with those two!

Same thing i do

There's a time skip between those two moments.

Because he's Josh-O only for the homies

got that Josh in me

All interrogators are called Josh. Well the one in the previous video I watched was called Josh. '197 IQ Scientist Murder', if you don't believe me.

In the interrogation he sounds like he has a speech impediment, but in the interview he sounds completely normal.

Possession ​@@justinfowler5761

This was the sentence that got me, too

It broke me

My god that moment was devastating.

I am only 2 min in and have no idea what it means

Oh😮

He clearly has a lot of love to give, it's a beautiful thing to witness

I get this overwhelming feeling that the parents are really good people. The cops did him dirty. It’s so fucked up that they would lie to the VICTIMS of the crime that they would get the chance to be there for their son. While he should be punished and get treatment, he was clearly so off his rocker and disassociated from his surroundings. The cops knew it, but they just want to get the win. They don’t genuinely care about people and rehabilitating them.

It was a great review but sadly his blood son has been 10 minutes down the road from him for the past 4 years and he can’t even speak to him/me but yea great sorry how it’s his son he will always be there!

@@austinbrazzell2451interesting tell us more

Autism and guns don't mix. That's for sure. Kids today seemingly lack respect for the sanctity of life as well. Whether religious or not, you have one life as all of us do. Young people today have become desensitized to human connection to the point that doing something like this doesn't only seem plausible on a mass scale, they would do this to a sibling. Get your kids off of social media, off of computers, off of games, and outside. Join organizations. Go camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, whatever. But don't let them sit inside all day for essentially years. It's unnatural and it manifests in mental illness, similar to some mental issues you see in zoo animals.

That is because they are empathetic and normal. The mother is bonkers, detached from normal human behavior, and disassociated from the human race...just like you know who.

Mental illness be like that

Yeah, real smart one 👌

@@DaRealKing303wasn’t a smart move. But hard to just act like he isn’t clearly extremely intelligent. He’s 16 and has a full time job with GED. Could have lived a life that only 5-10% of people live, but instead he chose the psycho route. Smart kid, bad decisions. Definitely not a dumb kid.

@@BenDover-qs7vsHe didn’t “choose” the psycho one. It happened at random, like he snapped. He didn’t intend to cause his family so much pain, he just broke. And that caused him to do something that he can never take back.

His bones went cold and he did some evil shit. The fact is some are just bad eggs. Its not their fault but it doesn't change the facts.

He seemed to be speaking with a customer from his job to me talking about how to fix or get a new computer.

@@mollydelacy9007What he did is called "scripting". Autistic people do this to practice social exchanges and conventions. He was notably talking about games and computers, an interest. This is not psychosis.

@@maggiek558I don’t think we can say it’s one or the other based on a tiny snippet of footage.

He isn't insane. Insane people don't act this calm. He's probably got a textbook case of psychosis.

​@isabelledoyle8567 I know it's just semantics, but I'm pretty sure the definition of insanity is pretty much the presence of severe mental illness. The dude decided he wanted to kill his whole family, I would consider that insane fs

It wasn't advice. He is thinking out loud. He stating his opinions about invidia and amd gpus. I talk to my self sometimes or rather speak my thoughts. My brain tend focus in more on that train of thought especially there's a lot I'm thinking about partially. He was emotionally distressed and he finding comfort in the thoughts of his hobbies.

Did you not watch the Video? They said that this talking to himself behaviour was to cope with the stress of killing his sister. He was detatching himself from the murder but if you get the later statements and his parents information it clearly seems that he has extreme regret for that murder and and he is actually able to understand the feelings of others and feels regret for his actions because he killed her and not because it landed him in prison. He even is completly open with everything because he wants to suffer for that murder (also selfharming). He is not like all those other killers. He is someone that has suffered threw abuse in childhood and got cooked in the brain. I dont really feel symtpathy for the Explore with us killers but this one was really sad.

@@maxweel2715 Mindless sheep.

@@jedrickgonzales4388 I sometimes talk out loud to myself and it is more likely when I have mental trauma. I normally, keep talking to myself to a minimum and when no one is around. Usually, it happens because of frustration. If I have something dealing with recent mental trauma, I'll start talking to myself like someone with tortes. Again, I don't try to do it in-front of people. I think the poor dude had the biggest impulse of his life, got committed to it, then realized how bad of an idea it was once he was lost in the mix.

The mother is clearly the one to blame here. She appears to have even less social awareness than her son, it would have been a nightmare growing up with a mother like that, it is no surprise that he has no familiarity with social norms and behaves so oddly.

Can also be the case of how demonic possession is real plus evil people gave always been evil you just never knew they can do it

@@Bambotbno you completely missed the original point. This is mental illness not mumbo jumbo magic.

jayyy4491 What’s the diagnosis? Are you just putting it to the side as ‘mental illness so you don’t have to acknowledge the some people can just be evil? I feel like diagnosis’s like psychopathy, narcissisism, etc. are just unproven (yes I’ve seen the brain scans, and find them highly unconvincing) substitutes for the concept of evil people existing.

​@@Bambotb, the fact that you just watched a really smart CHILD have a mental health breakdown, and made the decision to blame it on supernatural forces is why it's so dangerous to not divide church and state. People have been blaming mental illness on demons since we started believing in higher powers, and even though we have a much more thorough understanding of the human mind, you have chosen to fall back on archaic beliefs because humanity's capability for evil actions is too scary to you. That's like trying to "pray away" autism, and only does more harm to the person struggling and the people around them. Falling back on superstition does nothing to help HEAL actual issues. Please, do better.

@@araleana go see interviews with exorcists prieets if you think they are lying from every corner of the world you are the psycho one…also evil exists he could just be evil there is no other cause than these 2 unless he was on drugs and he clearly was the

@@deebest4202 It was at the very least 8 months later because the dad was saying he couldnt taste food for 8 months. But I would guess this is a very recent interview since it was conducted for this video and the crime happened in 2017.

that line hit me really hard

Demonic possession is Real.. people obviously can have mental disorders that contribute to altered behavior, reasoning , judgment , perception, behaviors , but one cannot discount the spiritual factor that can and has been at work in some cases… whwt may manifest as a physical or physiological condition can come from many sources , emotional, physical illness, issues affecting mental health , but also influence of good or evil can I feel , most def. In real ways , impact a person and contribute to or control one’s actions if a person is affected in such ways. I like your comment regarding your feelings related to the patient you’re referring to , it’s evident you were able to have good discernment to see beyond what was on the surface and obviously , of what the person was capable of , but you were still able to see any decency and heart despite what was done .. That takes a good heart imo to see into,, I do agree with you in there being a reason regarding a spiritual aspect, I’d def. Not just almost believe that is possible , but to know it Is., just as there is good in this world there’s also evil and if evil can influence people as powerfully as it does on so many levels , I’d hope one woukd certainly know that God is real , is much more powerful than any evil , that there’d be a desire to seek and know the lord , especially upon seeing the ways of this world and the influence of such horrible evils.. demon possession is very real .. but anyone belonging to the lord cannot be overtaken by any such entity .

@@breAnnasmamait’s just a mental disorder, not a demon

​@@breAnnasmama And by "real" you mean?

@@breAnnasmama Sorry to break it to you, but the supernatural doesn't exist. It's an interesting idea that we'd like to believe exists since it sometimes explains things that are hard for people to understand, but that doesn't mean there isn't an explanation for those things. The mind works in complex ways and just because we don't fully understand it doesn't mean things like demonic possession are real. In our society something has to be proven true to be accepted as real and there is no concrete evidence for the supernatural.

I was thinking the same thing re demon possession. What solidified that theory for me was when his father, or was it his mother?, said that when he was sitting in the living room hé spoke in a voice they did not recognise along with the fact thàt Sonny, himself, said he can't explain why he did it. He also stated that he basically felt like someone or something else had control of his body and to him it felt like he was watching on from outside of his body. These are all classic signs of demonic possession. It does not mean that Sonny is evil or was into anything to do with the occult étc. Like others have said, this is one case where I truly feel empathy for the killer. It is quite obvious he loves his family and that he adored his sister. Truly a tragic case for all of those involved.

Yeah like he is discussing about computer things with another person.

That’s what I thought

As an IT specialist, I can tell you that he's speaking nonsense. He just brings up random companies/technologies/abbreviations and tries his best to sound like an expert, but he's barely making any sense. I highly suspect he was acting for the camera to fight for that insanity plea.

Yesss. I literally thought a detective had walked in.

Probably on autism spectrum or he has schizophrenia?

It was probably unnoticed because it was at rest, with no pressure or stress to bring it to the surface. I certainly know better than this, but this is one of the more shining examples I've seen to attest for the existence of spiritual oppression or possession of killers at the time of their crimes. I am merely musing and speculating here, and wouldn't be doing that except that I have known friends whom I consider utterly trustworthy who say they have witnessed oppression, and say it is not to be taken lightly.

the parents seem very aware of how unusual their son was, but they weren't as aware as they should've been to openly have guns available in the house.....I'm sure they inwardly regret that loss of awareness.....sad...

​@@lindseycohn6849It isn't really a loss of awareness if they were never aware in the first place. Being aware that he's odd and being aware that he's liable to kill them all are two very different things.

I have autism and literally nobody in my life noticed until I was 31 years old. I was talking to someone one day and they told me I showed a lot of signs of it. I took some tests and it turns out I'm way on the spectrum. My life finally made sense after learning what a lot of the symptoms are for adults and children both. I'll never recover from the social isolation though. The damage is done and I'm speedrunning life as a hermit.

They both have a very flat affect. The mother is outright bonkers, detached from normal human behavior, and disassociated from the human race...just like you know who.

​@@numi8985 it sounds like you haven't been exposed to this sort of mental illness. I agree that he should be in a controlled environment but it's important to consider the state of someone's mind when a crime is committed. His family could tell he had a mental break, unfortunately he had access to firearms. It's tragic their daughter lost her life over it.

​@@numi8985the sad part is that police officers can try to take advantage of vulnerable populations and ignorance to get people to waive their rights for proper representation.

This hits hard for me... my dad says I "grew out" of my autism as a kid. I'm high functioning, with major anxiety. It feels so discrediting to hear him say I don't have autism when that's literally how my whole childhood upbringing was based around. He has it in his head that autism is shameful and debilitating all of the time. That's not it at all. We go through phases like anyone else, just nobody notices because we feel like a burden or dismissed when we try to explain everything going on in our head.

Your dad sounds like an idiot. Autistic people are cool af. ✌️💕🌻

Well said

This right here!!! One of my former friends has a pretty severe mental illness that causes her and her family a tremendous amount of pain, but she's told me point blank she doesn't get help because she's also brilliant and "the brain" of her family. So the narrative is "well, she's obviously fine" when no...she is NOT fine. To a lesser degree, I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until my late 30s because i didn't struggle in school, outwardly. Because I'm "smart" when I did struggle I was just told I want trying hard enough. I spent my entire life hoping something would "take me out" because being a person was SO hard for me, in my mind, "i shouldn't be here" It was fckng ADHD the whole time! As soon as I started treatment it was the first time I did NOT want to unalive myself in my entire life because I could just...DO things.

But getting exclusive interviews with the families/victims or the perpetrator is very very rare and speaks volumes about the quality and the professionalism of a UKposts channel!

Killers who suffered legitimate mental breakdowns and other circumstances like severe abuse, it really is pure tragedy. The brain controls *literally everything* and when something malfunctions on such a level, damage to the brain is done by external circumstances, etc... there's virtually nothing that reasonably could have prevented it. We don't know enough about the mind to solve the problem, our social/healthcare safety nets aren't robust enough for early (or any) intervention, and it can happen just so unexpectedly. It really is just pure tragedy. And to lose a child, TWO children, is devastating to a parent- let alone the grim circumstances. Heartbreaking is the only word to come back to.

​@@dormantlime215 Lisa Montgomery is such a good example of how mental illness and trauma can perpetuate pain. She experienced nothing but torture since her childhood, and authorities were informed about her abuse on 3 different ocassions, but did nothing at all. CPS knew when she was a toddler; the police knew when she was a teenager; and a judge heard her mother testify about the abuse in court. NOTHING was done to protect Lisa or prosecute her captors/abusers. It's no wonder that she developed severe mental illness and slaughtered a woman. IMHO, she absolutely should NOT have been executed. A person who has known nothing but severe torture should be considered not guilty by reason of insanity, and cared for in an institution. I really hope EWU does an episode on Lisa's life. It's a compelling case.

Yeah, I turned myself in to jail once, and it was worth it, because I needed the help. The hateful people in my lives always said I was stupid for turning myself in, while the loving ones understood that I did what was right. It's crazy how prideful some people can be. Those who think of themselves first tend to hate those who do the right thing after wrong choices, because they would never change themselves. But loving people who care for others, they see the value in people who want to change. It's great. His parents are great people, and the fact that he keeps himself there to protect them is so inspiring and relatable.

There are millions of diagnosis that they can give him, yet again not understand why it happened. He was possessed as his father said. Sonny also described it in exclusive interview, but what I find really weird is that they cut it off. He only said that it was a snap and two seconds later, they cut it off. I guess it's easier to give someone a diagnosis and jump all around with assumptions than actually believe possession of evil is possible. But the thing in law world, court, police, etc... there is no possession, in other words, they will never ever accept possession as a valid reason to an event that occured which just proves some things that I will not go into.

Because they are only interested in collecting evidence that will bolster their case. Exculpatory or mitigating evidence will be overlooked, ignored, misinterpreted or outright suppressed. Always exercise your rights to a lawyer to hopefully keep this from happening.

Because arrest and conviction quotas are the only motivation.

Facts

Wow, for me it was the best part. What’s done was done and there’s no changing that. Only the future can be changed. To me, the evidence points toward him being legitimately mentally ill and he recognizes that the most important thing is preventing future violence. To do that, he has to say “lock me up” because anything short of that would be a selfish and likely dangerous act.

I’ve seen it myself and looked into the science behind it. Apparently when you’re in fight or flight mode your pupil dilate to full size which creates a completely dark look in and around the eyes.

I don’t think it makes sense that someone would have the same look in their eye before taking their lives as when taking loved ones’ lives. I find it so overly simplistic to point to “a look in their eye” when talking about a crime but even if you were to do that, it’s usually to describe someone with nefarious intentions or void of emotion. A boy out to take his own life is neither of those things. It sounds like he was just feeling utterly hopeless which can reflect on the outside as you saw.

With all these cases, there eyes always have dark circles....just like the Hellywood movies have on evil or possessed people. So sad. Rip angel 🕊🌹🍂 God bless 👑🙏🕊💞

Many different disorders can share some of the same symptoms but are completely different disorders. Dark circles around the eyes can come from many different: two causes are insomnia, severe depression or anemia due to not eating. Appearing emotionless can be caused by severe depression, schizophrenia, autism or being in shock, None of these conditions are related despite having the same symptom. It is similar to sneezing; this can be caused by a cold, flu or an allergy. None of it has anything to do with homicide. What it does tell you is that the person is showing a symptom that indicates something is wrong and that somebody needs to get to the bottom of it to get them help if they haven’t already done so.

Demonic possession 👹

It makes me scared cause I've experienced derealization and depersonlization, and it is extremely weird. I got it while driving once and kept having this strange thought of wanting to ram the guard rail . It's like I knew logically I would die but the urge to do it was extremely strong. The only thing that probably stopped me was God's grace and the fact that my mom was trailing me because we were selling the car she was in. I remembered looking down and thinking, "Who's hands are those?" while I was driving. I had no sensations at all, and it felt like I was in a hyper-realistic 1st person video game. Even the colors where hyper vibrant and sounds were kinda trippy, like tunnel hearing is the only way I can describe it, and it's not even accurate enough to describe the feeling and sound. My memory was shot as well. I somehow had to ask my mom to drive in front of me to get me to the destination, one I had been to over 1000 times. I believe every word he said and the confusion he had about why he did it or lack of reason ffs sounds similar to how I felt when trying to describe to my mom why I wanted to hit the guard rail. I called her cause I got scared for a minute lol, then I realized I must be having some sort of episode and I just tried to focus on not panicking and tried to just give it time 😅

High stress brings on my depersonlization, though, so now that I know this I am able to better and I know to seek help right away if my thought become abnormal.

Cheek French kissing

@@redcell9636 Interesting. What gives you that impression?

@@american_cosmic How close they are and what seems like a hidden, until the incident, trauma response. He had basically a psychotic break, probably due to separation anxiety. The father left and went back to his home country of South Korea when they were young. He seemed to have leaned on his sister. Since his mental faculties were accelerated, for a lack of a better term he may have misconstrued certain feelings or emotions as more than just familial. His sister leaving for college and having a boyfriend could have put some kind of mind-poison in the back of his psychee. However it did seem that his accelerated acumen could have stunted his social skills and ques. There is a good chance he wanted to or had acted upon baser urges. Remember the part about describing "humans" but in a detached way and how "humans" have unpredictable responses? There is a goos chance him and his sister trauma bonded, and a good chance he wanted to _bond_ a whole lot more than she did. This is mostly a "gut" feeling about it.

I am not writing this to offend you in any way, hopefully you won't think I'm being rude. But most of the symptoms you just said are not actually related to DPDR. Speaking of yourself in third person, having no taste and not being able to express emotions is not Depersonalization. With DPDR you are completely aware that your experience of being spaced out or numb is not reality. Therefore you would not refer to yourself as "He/she" or "male/female". You might feel a sense of unfamiliarity or fear when saying "me" or "I", but being so distant from yourself that you genuinely see yourself as another human is not DPDR. Besides from having had chronic Depersonalization for 15 years, I work as a psychologist and psychotherapist specializing in dissociation. I wouldn't be comfortable lining out other possible causes for these symptoms, all I can say is that those listed symptoms are not rooted in DPDR. If a patient with DPDR drinks a glass of apple juice blindfolded, they would be able to identify the drink with a 100% certainty, even though they have an experience of "not being able to taste".

Funny you should mention the vision. I have autism and dissociate in some moments. One sign that gets me to snap out of it sometimes is when I notice that I look through people. I know they are there but I am seeing the thing that should be behind them if it's an environment that I am familiar with. Strange stuff

I started dissociating as a child due to abuse, it was my brains way of trying to protect me. I don't know if these things happen in different degrees because I've never had it happen to the point that I've done something to harm myself or others while in that state, or ever even had the desire to do so. But I absolutely get the watching it happen stuff. Iwhen I go back to memories of things that were very traumatic it's not like other memories it's like I'm watching a film. I can talk about these horrible instances of physical and sexual abuse, of my husband's death as well, like I'm recalling a plot from a movie or a book. It's definitely different from recalling upsetting or other bad memories where I did not dissociate. For me it's like I just go completely numb. No emotions, no physical sensations. I'm watching it happen to me like i'm someone else. But I guess that's why I never had any urges, because I completely shut down. It's like I lose the ability to think it do anything. Like I'm inside a body someone switched off so I'm in there but even if I wanted to or tried I couldn't do anything until that state passes and I'm back. I had to go to therapy for a few years because of some PTSD and the anxiety it brought. I'd suddenly be back in the memory and back in that locked in state where I was helpless to change it. Thank God that doesn't happen anymore. I'm very proud to say I have t had a panic attack for 11 years now. The last time I really dissociated was due to my husband's sudden out of the blue (for me at least) suicide. I barely remember those first few months still, almost 8 years later now. It was the longest I ever went, before that it would be during the abuse it during the traumatic act but I stayed in this mostly dissociated completely detached state for months til my friends finally came to my home and physically made me start living my life again. All in done was stay in bed basically. I had to move in with family for help because I was a stay at home mom and we lost our home and vehicle after he passed. Thank God I had them to help me at that point. I would have been on the street. Sorry for the life story guys b

I’m partially deaf as well. I appreciate the CC. While these are not 100% accurate I’m able to follow along very well.

It's likely he doesn't feel care nor love for his parents, it's more cognitive empathy. Like, he knows he could do such thing again, and he knows how bad that would be, so he understands that it's better that he won't live with them again.

Perhaps less maturity, than a genius-level, robotic logic.

@@aberroa1955 Cognitive empathy still counts for something.

As a diagnosed schizophrenic I recognize it all.

@@chocolatefrenzieya What's maturity other than taming your emotions by rationality? He could as well mature, in his manner. I think I understand him well, partly because I am, or rather was having similar kind of lack of true emotions. Being raised with emotionally abusive mother, I haven't used to read or understand emotions of other people, except when they were too obvious. But I wanted to understand, and to know how to react properly, so I taught myself, I seen how other people rationalize faint emotions, how they treat them, etc. And used that to kind of "fake" empathy, until I started to actually feel it, intuitively. Obviously, neither me nor nearly all other people with similar behavioral difficulties are going to killing spree. Lack of emotions or empathy is not enough to do such a thing, it's rather a lack of thought. And his condition, his depersonalization is much more severe than simply emotional disability. So, the thing about cognitive emotions - they mature too, maybe slower than other people, but nonetheless. Ideally, to the point where it's impossible to tell if person have cognitive or compassionate empathy, even by himself. "Fake it till you make it", so to say. But in the end, it's still more a thought process. Like, "ah-ha, I know you experienced this thing, I notice your subtle mimics, and that means you feel this, so it's appropriate for me to do that", just without verbal thoughts. Even if you have genius-level robotic logic, you still may consciously choose to be compassionate, caring, loving, etc, when you learned how to do that.

Mom is clearly dumb… or simple… he probably showed plenty of red flags but the parents didn’t see it because they are too simple. Yet…they are allowed guns.

I'm Autistic and I can explain how I can tell the parents are sussy in this. I was both diagnosed with autism and demonstrated to have a superior matrix level pattern recognition as documented by the best adult psychologist in CT. Over the years I've noticed there's a lot of "types" of people and I've known and been friends with a number of people that are just like him with the same personality traits, most the same interests and often of similar opinions, and even often body types. Every single one of them was incredibly familiar with guns, even the ones I knew in highschool and even though I'm in a Blue State. Every person with autism I have been close friends with has an undiagnosed autistic parent and a narcissistic parent. Is there proof that Sonny actually tried to kill his stepfather and accidentally didn't do it correctly? Doesn't the whole story sound a bit silly or scripted? I feel as though people may be chalking it up to autism but this fishiness can not be explained away with just autism. If you pay close attention to how the parents talk about their daughter, it's in such poor taste it would be considered a satire conversation for the purpose of humor to someone like me and my friends. They couldn't even start off saying something genuinely positive about her personality at first, "she wasn't a mean girl". Then mom tries to say something generic. Dad tries to recite what he can remember other people saying. They talk about how "LOVING" their daughter was. "She was FULL of love". She's making light of the fact her daughter was a slut. Dad rubs his face because he's uncomfortable but goes along with it because it can be explained as kindness. But then the mom starts going on about how she loved absurd things. The dad looks at her with the expression of "what are you doing" and his face gets nervous as she continues on about how she has a dark sense of humor. Weird thing to bring up, huh?. "She loved MORBID." Okay... "She's somebody you couldn't sit next to at a funeral." Is that what you would choose to share about your dead daughter? I may not have a daughter but I could confidently say I would not share that. And she just goes on to repeat it in emphasis. She's going on about how she's embarrassed by how her daughter acted and the dad is getting fed up with it. "She's the one that helped me forgive my ex-husband" is not the positive remark people might be thinking it is. It's a snide one, she says the fact that "he really bailed on us though" with genuine honesty though. And OF COURSE her lesson learned was to forgive people that make mistakes. OF COURSE they choose to love their son. And of course she goes on to say how "Ashley would choose forgiveness". We all think we're so clever but we all eventually learn to read the types of people around us the most with ease. The mom is calling her daughter, who lets be honest clearly has parental issues from her presentation (and I say this as someone who also chose to look scene/emo for 14 years of my life): a slut, someone who comes off creepy, and embarrassing. They're clearly in on the bullshit that he had a psychotic episode. Look at all these things this video points out after that, chalking it up to "this is not always the case..", nah. Acting that she wants to protect her son because she loved her so much and needs to hold on to a part of her is laughable. That's his step sister, he doesn't even have parts of her. And then they didn't even care enough to show up, sounds like the morality of a lot of my peers' parents. I'm not saying Sonny is a good person or innocent or anything, but that his parents are incredibly fake. He did it for his parents for some reason I can not be sure of and I believe he can't explain why he did it because many autistic people (including myself) have trouble lying from scratch like that. We have to say things indirectly, or exaggerate them, or beat around the bush with "not really" to lie a lot of the time.

They are attempting to forgive their son, and only child they have left, and I can imagine it would be difficult to do while dwelling over the past and their loss. Which will only cause hatred and anger.. it’s not our place to judge how people grieve
