'I Am Adam Lanza's Mother': A Mom's Perspective On The Drugs

That's part of what I immediately thought when the story broke. It just seemed like an interestingly specific target for it to just be "some sociopath who randomly snapped". He seemed to feel like she treated the kindergarteners better, and wanted to take it out on them like he was going to her. I don't want to say I know this for sure, but it seems so likely. I'm going to empasize though still, I don't condone what he did. Though I will say that this is sometimes what comes from childhood abuse.

No one condones what he did, I am sure. I was not trying to imply that possible abuse is in any way justification for what he did. Nothing justifies his evil acts. But that is not the point I was trying to make. I was saying that we need to be willing to see and to comprehend the whole picture if we ever want to change things on the larger scale, and if possible abuse and the subsequent trauma played any role in what happened, then we have to talk about it. Again, just because someone's history can explain their behavior up to some extend, that doesn't mean it justifies it. Explanation and excuse or justification are two completely different things.

No worries. I said that because I was accused of justifying it or being callous to the pain the victims felt, or having sympathy for a sociopath, and other claims to judge me for trying to say that. None of which are true. I just understand the mindset he had because I had that mindset, though I never ended up shooting anyone. I guess things were just different some between me and him. Though the familiarity is scary. Though I'd never kill anyone.

Yes, I certainly agree.

I only just started really looking at the shootings and its weird and looks like a false flag for gun control....like the reports of other children at the school only report police breaking down the doors no gunshots, Adam Lana's mother is CIA agent...News footage shows no ambulence at school or children anywhere. Adam Lanza's mum didn;t work at the school etc...oh and the car belonged to some pedophile, and they say there was two shooters found four guns etc...its really weird. and Adam didn;t exist for several years before the shooting, was he in MkUltra camps.

So this woman's son was named Micheal?

Even if this was about Adam Lanza I'd say it shows how little psychiatry does for kids in crisis situation, and the mom overreacts and uses psychiatry to control her son instead of listening to him and being reasonable...I'd say this woman does a great job at antagonising him and making things worse he obviously hates psychiatry and the drugs and it is reasonable for him to feel this way coz he's only a kid and what destruction a life of psychiatry does for gifted people.
