In reply to the discussion: Recently ousted Fox News host's son found dead in apparent suicide [View all]Plucketeer
(12,882 posts)The family had moved in there about 15 years ago. The dad and wife were underhanded sorts that had professed they'd moved to the country to keep their son from ending up dead of gang affiliation in the Los Angeles area. It was quickly evident these folks were a classic case of a dysfunctional family. Both mom and dad got into standoffs a few times after they'd moved here. Both were simmering cauldrons of anger. I finally just refused to even communicate with them.
In the last couple of years, the dad was getting visibly irritated over his son's (Step-son actually) unwillingness to find a job. His mom always defended the boy (young man really - age 28) and insisted he live there even if the only thing the son could do was make more grandkids.
Week and a half ago, a simmering argument exploded into screaming and fisticuffs. That's when dad got his 9MM out and dispatched sonny boy. Then he took his wife into their bedroom and put a hole in her head. Knowing the consequences of what he'd just done, he used a third bullet to finish himself off.
