So she didn’t want to share custody of their kids but she is okay with now never seeing her kids again
When you hate more than you love your children.
What an awful thing to do to your children. On Christmas, no less. And if you wanted to keep your kids away from their father, you did the exact opposite.
9:41 "My kids are in the car." ... You didn't freaking care about your kids being in the car when you started shooting everyone. 😡
How can she possibly think this was worth losing all her children? What a maniac.
Everyone keeps talking like he was the father to her other four kids, he was the father to the 11 month old. Those other kids were by other men. He was given 50/50 custody of his child the 11 month old. She was so jealous of him seeing someone else that she didn't give a rats @ss about her other children.
A baby,a 4 year old, a 7yr old, 10 yr old and 14 yr old... traumatized all her kids because shes selfish
"give me a hug before I get killed!!" What a wretched thing to say and do to your kids! Making them a shield! What an evil person!
When you hate your ex more than you love your kids. Sad😢
