(62,325 posts)living alone in a dark room with no friends or family. I was absolutely shocked to find out that he was far from being a loner. That upset my total acceptance of the historical record. Sometimes it's the little things. But it was easy to picture a loner with no friends going out and for no apparent reason murdering a POTUS with no one to suspect beforehand that he might be a little obsessed and unbalanced. Much harder to accept that a normal husband and father, with a job and friends might suddenly go completely insane without anyone seeing any signs beforehand.
When I found out he had a wife and kids and friends and lived a pretty normal life at the time, it kind of blew my whole image of him.
I wonder about those kids. If for no other reason they deserve to know if his denials were true or not. What must their lives have been like? It was easier to think the only one affected was Oswald himself.
