Adam Lanza’s Father, in First Public Comments, Says ‘You Can’t Get Any More Evil’

155. It seems very telling to me that no where in the interview

did he ever say that he ever loved his son. Perhaps he wanted/expected a normal child (don't we all) but was unable to love a fragile, injured and sick one. My guess is that the dad was always driven and high achieving and did not know how to nurture, only push. Thus he left that to the mom who overcompensated by trying to protect her son from the high expectations of the dad and the world at large. A viscous circle that she died entrapped in.

Other posts tell about how bullied the boy was as a child, quite normal for odd children. But does the dad talk about what he did to protect and help his son? I suspect that this child knew he was not acceptable and thus grew in his self loathing. Perhaps the wishing he had never been born idea started a whole lot earlier than after the massacre.

That is my point. I think that it would be normal to feel such a thing after this happened. but to say it in public suggests to me that he never loved his son in the first place.
