What I mean is.. Just the assumption feels like an attack when you're a family member.
It IS a natural assumption and a POSSIBILITY that she overdosed by willingly doing heroin. I'm not saying that.
I'm responding to it feeling like an attack when you KNOW in your heart and mind that your family member did not do something that put themselves in the position to die.
I wasn't saying you were attacking AJ or that anyone is by just theorizing, sleuthing, questioning. That's what this forum is for.
It all has to be questioned to get to the truth.
I'm just looking at it from the family's point of view because I've been there.
Eta: I don't know what JH or other family members truly believe.
But if they don't believe she did heroin and don't believe she even tried it for the first time on her own, I can imagine how it feels for her. That's all.
This fight is pointless and getting very tiring indeed with respect. Wes was AJ estranged farther/step-farther does it really matter.

I, personally, think its irresponsible to taint the thinking of people who come aboard by calling him anything other than what he was.
If it doesnt matter to anyone but me, then let's just all agree to call him what he is- her adopted father, not estranged, not step-father. That way, I don't have to discuss it anymore.

I understand and sympathize with what you are saying. It's awful when a victim of murder is demeaned by total strangers or by the murderer. I think any parent and friend of a victim would feel angry that their dead loved one is being attacked.
That being said, how do you handle those feelings? Do you issue a dignified statement to the press and then just ignore comments from strangers, and cry and vent privately?
I can't bold from my phone, so I snipped.
Yes that is what I would do. Point well taken!
Yeah, I'm not sure at all. Just super empathetic to victims families and admittedly, sometimes, that puts me in a position to be fooled.
I just watched the interview again. In that interview from yesterday did WH sort of say they didn't even know time of death? The LEs haven't told them?
So tonight they are going to show part of an interview with Wes and then with his Mother? Can't wait to hear what that's all about. From what I gather from all the bickering on SM, Jen, Collin and Andre, Drew (the family) has clearly decided Wes is the one and only one behind this tragedy. Is that what yall surmise? They have labelled him "The Monster" who did this, right? Then what little I saw of WH's interview recently, he is trying to say it's another family member.

Is it just me? I would feel so weird if my 19 year old daughter left to go party with my husband (her adoptive father, whatever) that I'd asked to leave my home because he was into drugs.
According to Marissa Jasek, WTKR will be airing an interview at 4 today, this time with Wesley Hadsells mother.
The behavior on SM, with them declaring that AJ never even smoked a cigarette or had a drink makes it even worse. AJ did not have to be without flaws to be important. The thing that pops into my head is "I think the lady doth protest too much."

Because people are ASSUMING that because Wes and Jen were not together that AJ was not speaking to him. As far as I know, thats simply not true. Even her friends were hanging out with him, so what makes anyone think that she wasnt speaking to him?? Y'all please give me a link to show what I am missing.
Pointless to you, maybe. It is very important TO ME. If my sister was killed by someone and we were looking at my dad, it would be very different if we were talking about my dad, who has a seemingly good and normal relationship with VERSUS my dad, who she hates/ he hates her/ they don't speak and there is lots of anger between them. No one thinks that is an issue to assume they were estranged (aka, he didnt give a rats *advertiser censored* about her) versus they had a normal relationship (aka, she still saw him as a parent she could get money from). That's a little mind boggling that a crime forum where we pay attention to details thinks that such an important detail can be misstated time and time again and then consider that the problem that is frustrating lies in that the detail shouldn't matter. I, personally, think its irresponsible to taint the thinking of people who come aboard by calling him anything other than what he was.
