While I admit that I have never suffered having one of my children committing a heinous crime, and that we all grieve differently, I have mixed feelings towards Adam Lanzas father as the parent of a child with Aspergers Syndrome. Today on GMA as part of an interview he said he wished he had never been born and was just evil. This from a man who abandoned him when he was mentally ill and needed parental guidance. My daughter, in her Masters for psychology, brought up a point. If my sign were having violent outburst and there was a chance he could be institutionalized would I accept it. (She also said Aspies are not known for violence she he was probably not properly diagnosed) .I told her I love him with all my heart but if there were a chance he would harm someone, yes I would. I would be upset, but not ignorant. She thought that might have been part of the parental denial or lack of guidance. As for Lanzas dad, be disappointed, be hurt, ashamed, whatever you need to be. But how dare you say you wish he were never born when you did nothing to HELP him. A proper diagnosis and devoted parenting might have,....might have saved a lot of other children as well as Adam and his mom.
