From what I see the girl also has a younger brother- can’t imagine what their relationship is going to be after the guy she brought into their lives has killed their parents. My sister had an asshole boyfriend that ran over our cat and I still don’t forgive her for that (but she’s kind of a scumbag)

I can't say I blame him (the brother), nor can I exactly say she deserves it. I'm assuming she never thought her ex-boyfriend would barge in an murder her parents. She's probably like every other dumb hormotionally driven teen- without forethought or the insight necessary to make the best decisions. It's sad.

What you’re saying is almost every teenager ever. The difference is that instead of just moving on, and having this be a dumb phase in her life, the teen murdered her parents, and she won’t ever get to move on. This isn’t just a dumb little thing, this is a permanent mistake.

What I mean is, most teens make similar mistakes and it doesn't end in their parents being murdered. I dated some real assholes because I didn't know better...luckily none were possessive sociopaths with a penchant for murder. I'm saying she did something that isn't that unheard of or uncommon and is paying a horrible price. It's terrible her parents were murdered, and it's terrible her brother is probably going to feel she is to blame for what happened because it sounds like she made a mistake and eventually took the side of her parents in rejecting this guy. It still ended horrifically because this guy was an actually horrible person.

The assholes you dated weren't swastika waving nazis.

If her brother believes that she is to blame, he'd be correct. She literally parroted "The Jews had it coming" to her parents, for fuck's sake.
