It's not the tree's fault or the house's, but both were reminders of the horrors that happened there. Although Tylee and JJ's families probably won't visit the area again, some locals pass the site daily. The children's murders likely took place at Lori's and/or Alex's apartments. Those locations won't be affected.
I've never really understood removing inanimate objects, whether they were houses, trees, or schools. I think it's kind of a fad.
Yikes! A blueprint of their home. Absolutely nothing wrong with a mobile home, but I’m sure that's not what Lori had in mind as her forever love nest.
I’ve never understood what she saw in Chad Daybell or the lifestyle he promised, even considering some money coming in. It would have made sense for her to skip off in pursuit of juicier low-hanging fruit when she learned Charles had removed her from his will. Oh well. She’s got plenty of time to regret her choices now.
It makes sense if she bought somewhat into their theology, or even mainstream LDS theology in general. It wasn't primarily about today, it was about what came after. It was about eternity.
First, let me correct myself: It was his life insurance policy, not his will. That aside, do you really think she believed the Daybell
I think her magical thinking - which was all about fulfilling her narcissistic needs - was heavily coloured by her religious ideas. But when I say religious ideas, I'm talking about the ones she and Chad developed - it's not adultery because we've been married for umpteen lives, this life doesn't count for me so I can do whatever I want including murder... Those thought patterns are heavily narcissistic and amoral, but they're inextricably tied with the narrative they developed together giving them an eternal backstory and a justification for selfish cruelty.
I don't exactly disagree with you, but we are all different, and I for one can't take it. Visiting, or even seeing, these horror memorials, I mean. I was planning a tour which took in Poland and a several other countries, but could not find one which didn't include Auschwitz. So I scrapped the idea. I know, from various life experiences, that it would have a really bad effect on me and my mental health. I am by no means saying that these places should not be kept as memorials, and the world certainly must never forget, but as I said, some of us just can't cope with it. My brother has visited Hiroshima and the Killing Fields of Cambodia, and he says he just can't take anymore. So I totally support the families of victims who want related places demolished, and even people who can't help but see them regularly. JMO
Agreed. It's a very personal thing. I'm typically not one to seek out those memorials, either.
Thank you for that thoughtful response. It’s all mind-boggling.
I agree with all of this. Great job!
When Lori was in jail and Chad was still free, he placated her by telling her that it was all part of God's plan. They compared themselves to main characters from Mormon scripture going through hardship. Thinking she's someone important keeps her hope up she'll be free one day. With that mindset, I wonder if she'll ever stop following Chad.
