  1. pain, regret, self-blame. he wasn’t father of the year. some of us know these people. the father was absent for many years.

  2.  @MaraCrocker that’s because they actively wanted better for their lives. that wasn’t because of their parents, it was in spite of them. i met the oldest daughter years ago and she specifically mentioned (to our mutual friend whom i was having coffee with) that she didn’t have a relationship with either parent—also why she left the state. BOTH parents were absent. he didn’t step up to be a father for years. his older 2 daughters were long gone, wanting nothing to do with either, before he decided to be a parent.

  6. STOP FEELING BAD FOR THIS DAD. i used to work for Christine and Olivia worked there, too. this father was ABSENT from their lives—going in and out as he saw fit. neither parent wanted their children in their split. unfortunately they were “that family” in Fairfield. it’s not a surprise to ANYONE that one of their kids turned out to be a murderer. it wasn’t until Christine left to run a “relationship guru” business (scam), in Colorado that he actually stepped up to be a parent. by then it’s a little late—especially given that the two older girls were out (and i know 1 of them actively didn’t have a relationship with either parent). i met her once outside of Paradiso (not Olivia, before i worked for Christine) and she was talking to her friend, the friend i was having coffee with, about her parents—she was visiting from out of town, again, they were “that family”. my friend filled me in as soon as the older daughter left. a lot of what he is feeling is regret for seeing the results of BOTH of their trash parenting. there’s aaaalways more to the story that outsiders can’t possibly know. what he’s saying about Christine & her boyfriend are true. the store manager where Christine’s restaurant was banned her bf from the property—she had him there anyway. i used to watch him yell and throw his arms around at her in the parking lot…anyhow she lost her lease because she refused to stop having her bf on the property and her beloved restaurant closed down. i saw another video on this just before and it dawned on me how young (younger than i thought) he was when she left. anyhow. let’s remember the father is not the victim and had he been a better parent before his son was abandoned he might of stood a chance. oh, and his friend, the psychiatrist, slept with a patient and left his (beloved in the community) wife for her. his wife was a longtime teacher at MIU, one of mine. lol, let’s chop it up to malpractice. there’s so much he’s not saying—anything to make it look like he’s a good dad.
