I've said it in previous posts but I'll go ahead and reiterate and add to my opinion on this.
I think controlling what the children see and read on things like facebook and forums like this one is very easy to do for someone in the IT industry(if they are being parented as they should be). What is written and said in MSM however, not so easy. I say this because even if they don't see or hear it with their own eyes, the likelihood of people or kids they know reading or hearing and talking about MSM increases drastically.
If you look at it that way (and likely even if you don't)...you will see that the things that have been said about Jennifer, much of which can not even be backed up by real proof, are extremely hurtful.
I.E.-Jennifer had a mental "break".
Jennifer had unhealthy weight loss (it has never been proven that it was "unhealthy", but implying so is very hurtful).
Jennifer was so different and had changed so much that GR and the kids didn't even miss the person she had become (again-no one has come forward to back up this claim).
Jennifer had become obsessed with gaming (proven? Nope!)
Jennifer probably took off with an online companion (the only person who came close to corroborating this wanted to remain anonymous, which speaks volumes imo).
All of the above has been said in MSM by either a "close friend" of their mother or their father.....about their mother!!!
Now lets look at what has been said about GR in MSM....
He was last to see her alive (FACT!)
He had a "tryst" and admitted to it himself. (FACT!)
Am I missing other things? If so, please feel free to add...
Who is saying things that could potentially hurt the kids feelings? Who has a fighting chance of defending themselves about the things being said? Those are things he has had the nerve to bring up in MSM. Why would a man say all of those things about his missing/deceased wife, and not mention the wonderful things she had done? If someone can talk like that about their missing/deceased spouse to anyone willing to listen, I can only imagine what is being said behind closed doors!
So....people can throw guilt trips out at me like the one above all day long. I'm not phased by it. I'll start regretting, feeling guilty, and apologizing for the things I've said just as soon as GR does the same.
Unfortunately the other day one of Jen's kids was being bullied on the bus about her death. Thankfully my son stepped in and stopped it. It infuriates me that they have to deal with this on top of the loss of their mother.
