If my child killed someone, I would....I do not want to say "forgive" them, but I would accept it, I would still love them, I would visit them in prison, I would not judge them.
However, if one of my children killed another of my children, I have absolutely no idea what I would do. I would like to say that I would still love them and treat them as part of the family, but in reality I think it might hurt to much. I think I would probably have a mental breakdown and need to be hospitalized, actually. I'm not sure I could get past something like that.
I just can't look at anyone, even someone who has killed, or raped, or anything, and say they are a terrible person. I strongly believe some, perhaps many, people who do things like that are mentally ill and can not stop themselves...I don't think it means they shouldn't be imprisoned or they can ever be trusted, but I don't think it's right to look at anybody, not matter what horrible things they may have done, and decide that they are just awful or inhuman.
