This article just really hits you in the gut. How horrible is it that many families look perfect online but struggle in silence behidn closed doors. It seems the mom was going through alot of mental health issues and health issues with the baby that it took a tole on the relationship and maybe he was trying to hold onto something that was over with. She was married at such a young age i can see that being a reason to want something new we all grow. He seemed like if he couldnt have them he didnt want anyone else to. I feel so bad for the children who has nothing to do with this lost there lives so young. The police must have been traumatized by the scene they walked into.

I know that the cousin said not to judge Mark, but he did wrong. No matter how he felt he should have not killed his wife and children.  As a father myself, I feel my job is to protect my children at all times. I wish he would have seen a bright future of his children even if he was not married to his wife.

I just read a story about an apparent murder suicide in which the husband of a family of five killed his wife, three children and their dog. Their marriage was apparently going through a rough spot after having a child with a congenital heart defect and the husband just couldn't bear the thought of living without his wife. They seemed relatively happy on the exterior. It just goes to show that you can never really know what is going on behind the scenes.

Anything like what is in this article is so horrifying to me. How could a parent take the life of there child. How could a husband take the life of there wife. I can undertand people who commit sucide but to kill the whole family even the dog that is just evil. I think more help and mental reach out should be offered in communities to men. They bottle things up and this is what happens. Men are not allowed to show emotions and then they let it out in violence. I wish this woman had been able to escape sooner her and her children would still be around.

After reading the article, i couldn't help but feel really disturbed. I can't believe that anyone can kill their whole family like that including their own dog. I feel that people like that are really messed up in the head. If you are willing to kill yourself, you should probably leave your family alone because killing them really does nothing. It's very and disturbing.
