Hate how the sons vilify Their mother!


She is a victim as well. They want to blame the mother for everything because of their obsession with their pedophile father. She did NOT make him a pedophile! She did not cause him to go to prison! She may not have been the greatest wife or mother who knows, but they talk about her as if she is the child molester! Makes me angry! These sons need to face the fact that their father was sick on his own, the mother did not cause this sickness or their sickness! Its the fathers fault the son went to prison, and if he really did do things to children she did the correct thing by telling him to plead guilty!!

So strange since their father admitted to being a pedophile! Even told their mother he was! His even admitted to raping his own brother and his brother talked about him like he was also some kind of saint! Arnold ruined so many lives and didn't deserve any support from anyone. Its bizarre how the sons didn't seem to care about Jessie either. They probably knew that their father was molesting Jesse and didn't care! Sick family! The mom was the only normal one! lol

The son David make me sick.
Both of his parents came from famlies where the father left the mother, it was hard for bot of them. I'm pretty sure Elaine wainted to keep her marriage for her children's sake (she didn't knew her husband was a pedophile, she might have suspictions of gay preferences, but what could a woman do in those times?). David blamed his mother for not being able to sexually attract his husband, and then states he "doesn't understand" what does it means that his father had sexual contact with underaged boys! "Maybe he felt sexualy excited for touching his arm against a tree?". What a psycho is that David guy, repulsive.

Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language

LOL! Ya that part where David is "What does that mean he was sexually aroused?", "What does that mean?" Give me a *beep* break! He knows what that means! He also tried to insinuate that he mother never wanted to have sex with his pervert dad as if that would be some *beep* excuse to rape children!! David was totally disgusting!

David annoyed me nonstop. All the boys are in denial which makes me wonder if they were touched too.

I feel sorry for their mother.

In my opinion they blame her for not stopping her father abusing them
