how can any parent kill a child?

I was reading a recent article at thedenverchannel.com about a self-described stay at home father who assaulted his wife and then started a fire in his home in an attempt to kill himself, his kids and the family pet. First, let me start by saying that the average stay at home father has no thoughts of killing their kids.  They have made a conscious decision to stay at home and provide care for their family. Second, how can someone kill their own child?  It is one thing to have a marriage end.  It is quite another to take that failed marriage and turn the kids into some kind of scheme to get back at the ex.

Calgon take me away… alas it is an exercise in futility

It has been a day already. David was up at 7.  he went to bed at 11 last night, but was up and down all night long. Since then he has been as busy as Roger Rabbit.  Zip from here to there.  When he is like he was last night, it is hard to sleep.

So we went on an outing. He had to do a blood draw, and then we stopped at the grocery store. It seems like our whole day has been: Dad. Dad. Dad. Dad. Mom. Mom. Mom. Hey Dad. Dad. Dad.

Well I got another warning from facebook regarding my friend requests. I have friends on facebook from all over the world.  Some I have met, like when I was stationed in Germany and dated someone who lives there for a while.  But there are also well over 100 people that I have never before met in my life that I am now friends with.  These include people in my blog promotion group, my personal group, my autism support group, my fibromyalgia group, and HOPELIGHTS.  If facebook is going to warn me off for friending people that I don’t know, they need to apply it to more than half of the people who are on facebook. I wish that I had captured the screens that facebook prompted me with. I don’t friend people I don’t know without talking to them first.  Usually we chat in a group of some type before
