On Oprah today, there was a lady on that has forgiven her husband for murdering their five year old twins because she says he was sick and that he didn't have enough of a grasp on reality to know what he was doing. He says he'd thought about killing them for a long time, but didn't tell anyone because they'd take his kids away. That says to me he had a pretty firm grasp on reality- I personally couldn't forgive my husband if he murdered my child- do any of you think it's possible? Or is she just as sick as he is?

I'd never forgive him. But I'd have a long time to think about it, as I would be rotting in prison for killing his crazy ***.
He couldn't be too sick, if he realized he WANTED to kill them for awhile and was worried they'd get taken away. If he cared about them at all, he would have realized that them getting taken away was better than killing those poor babies. And if she forgave him, she shouldn't be allowed to have anymore kids, since it seems she doesn't care about the ones she had.

I could NEVER forgive my husband for killing my children. That would be like killing a part of me. Children are innocent little gifts and don't deserve a parent that wants to hurt them. I f the dad had been thinking about it for a while he could have got help or got away instead of going forward with his thoughts. Murder is murder even if the murderer was sick. In my opinion all people that murder are sick in some way or another and it is not the victims fault they shouldn't be punished. That women must be sick too and probably thinks that she will never find another man to love her and thinks that she has to stay by his side and forgive him because he is all she has left.. She needs help and needs to stay away from the man that killed her kids. NOT FORGIVABLE

no way - well, let me put it this way. I could forgive a person for pretty much anything, but that doesn't bring my child back. It all depends on what her level of "forgiveness" is - if she's still married to him and accepts him as her mate, that is WRONG. If my husband did that, I would definately not be with him any more (he'd most likely be in prison) and I'd have a divorce immediately - I could forgive him for his actions because my beliefs are that God has a greater plan, but that would be the extent of my forgiveness. Things would NEVER be the same.

Okay I live about 45 minutes away from were all of this happened and I watched a lot of it unfold on the news that day. I just sat on my couch and cried for those little girls. He is very very sick and needs a lot of help and as for the mother and her forgiving him. I personally think that her forgiveness towards him is a HUGH red flag that she needs evaluation and help too. IF a mother can go on living without her children and then tell the killed 'oh i still love you and I forgive you for all the pain that you brought in my life' then YES she needs a evaluation done on her as well. As a mother if someone done this to me and my children were gone then WHAT IS LEFT TO STILL BE LIVING FOR? I would so be in jail for killing him the same exact way that he killed those innocent little girls. RIP babies

I saw the same thing. I takes quite a person to forgive your children's murder, especially if it is your husband. She shouldn't forgive him for the plain fact he KNEW he was going to do it, he just didn't say anything. The man had to be sane enough to say something about it. I suppose she could forgive him- her sanity is although questionable.

Now that is over the top.....I wish my husband was reading this. He still hasn't forgiven me for spanking our twelve year old daughter the other day as we have always agreed not to spank our kids.
I would not and could not forgive anyone who murdered my precious babies least of all my husband with whom a share them.

The lady is just as sick and screwed up as the husband.If he thought about killing the kids long before he did it, the murder was premeditated. Anyone who could kill their kids after thinking about it for a while before doing it deserves to locked far far away and never see daylight again.

I think because she's lost her twins, she is in so much denial that she will accept any excuse she is given, because it is easier to live with the fact that the person you married is sick than it is to believe he was actually a very selfish monster. He could have left at anytime and those kids might still be alive.
She's not sick, just desperate!!!
