“Earlier this month, a Georgia
court ordered his ex-wife Marilyn Edge to hand them over to him. But it seems
she wasn't going to let him have them.” I was really shocked by the fact that
the mother would kill her own kids just because she couldn’t get custody over
them. Clearly she was not in the right state of mind and didn’t deserve to have
the kids because even if such things happen to a mother, why would you ever
take away your own kids’ lives? I can understand how she could’ve been freaking
out and wanting to keep her kids but taking away their lives because you can’t
handle the situation isn’t far to the kids in any way. I can’t begin to imagine
how the father must have felt when he heard the news. If he could’ve of just
had the kids sooner maybe all this would’ve never happened.
“She had
bolted with them before, Mark Edge said. After her children's father received
visitation rights a year ago, Marilyn Edge ran away with them to her native
Arizona.” They saw this coming because of the previous times when she bolted
but I bet they didn’t expect her to kill the kids. They should have been expecting
something drastic when she left with them because no matter how much she would
flee from the situation they would always be able to find her. I think she came
up with this plan out of anger of her kids being taken away. Not knowing how to
cope with it she decided to just take their life which kind of reminds of
suicides, how they think it will be a solution to a problem but really it isn’t
and she should’ve just faced the world.
But
finally they were going to live under his roof, and he was excited about that.
"I started doing all the preparations that I needed for my kids as far as
trying to get them in school," he said. "My mind was just on them."
Reading this just makes me really sad and mad at the same time. I can’t believe
how childish the mother is. Her taking them away from him just so he didn’t win
the right to be with them and didn’t get the chance to be a parent to them was
really petty. He described the pain as the total opposite feeling compared to
when they were born.
"I
don't see them as not being here with me right now. I see my children still
here with me. When I sleep, I dream of my son, and I dream of my daughter."
Just this quote melts my heart and makes me feel for him.
