A Family Tradition of Violence...does violence have to repeat itself or are you working very hard to create a scenario? It's you! You confessed in what you did. You did kill and your adopted child is following the pattern. So, you know how it ends if you gave her the pattern. Were you afraid that he or she was going to have more social authority or get to share in the family wealth? But, you may want all of it for yourself. So does his ex girlfriend from St. Kicks or St. Cheat.
