[@yesterdayitrained]

It wasn’t something he was old enough to articulate- a child at that age simply does not have the words yet. He tried his very, very, best - and he got his point across. It appears his father was unmoved, not surprisingly. It takes a cold hearted man to kill the mother of his children. By killing her, he is also hurting those children so deeply. And making them completely orphaned once he’s imprisoned. Obviously, he did not care. I hope all her children are doing well with her sister, their Auntie.

[@moongod5013]

There's something deeply chilling about genuinely righteous anger out of such a young child. I hope all three siblings were able to heal and thrive despite their lowlife father, and got some much needed therapy and support.

If there's an amount of hurt that can lead someone to hate, that poor kid experienced it when his own father killed his own momma. He doesn't know how to cuss yet, but trust, his childhood innocence is pretty much done after that amount of trauma in one hit.

[@rheap129]

And it also reflects well on the people who raised them after their mother's death (her sister?) that even through the trauma of their father killing their mother and the pain that comes with that, the family has both protected some of that innocence you were speaking of while supporting him and give him courage to express his feelings.

Nice idea, but that isn't realistic for most people, especially the ones that have children with them.

Please don’t change your intro. It’s something we’ve come to know and love dearly! Mike, you are an awesome storyteller.

Please accept my sincere gratitude for your honest and compelling work.

[@pecoa9332]

Couldn't agree more about the fluffy storytelling on some channels! Well said!

[@summertime5274]

I've thought the same thing how some creator's speak on the mindset, words & actions of victims as if we know firsthand what was said or felt. Ex; "Sara was terrified as she looked her attacker in the eye before looking for a place to hide & beg for mercy. She knew this was the end, he's finally going to do it & she told him to think of the kids" ect. None of us know what really happened but, I get it's to paint a picture & sometimes through the victim's eyes, so to speak. Still I've thought the same as you said extra "fluff".
