An Evil Mother
Hi,
We are often tempted to think that our life-situation is the worst possible, especially as teenagers.
I would like to give you something to think about,
to help you adjust your attitude toward your flawed parents that may have genuinely tried to do good.
This is about a woman who hated everyone but herself, it seems.

Mother: Sante Kimes
Son: Kenneth Kimes
Sante Singhrs grew up poor and longed for the good life. She had two failed teen marriages, producing one child, then turned to prostitution and theft to support herself.
She then found and married a millionaire, Ken Kines, and had a son by him, Kenneth.
.
Sante was repeatedly involved in insurance fraud and human trafficking,
stealing girls off the street in Mexico, taking them home as slaves.
After getting out of prison for this, she began killing the witnesses to avoid jail time.
Her victims included a banker, a lawyer, and a businessman.
Her husband, an older man, died unexpectedly,
He left both her and their son Kenneth out of his will.
She continued her fraudulent life and at some point, trained her son Kenneth to be her accomplice. They were finally caught when they conspired to kill a New York City woman, Irene Silverman,
to gain ownership of her property.
Kenneth said that Sante used a stun gun on Ms. Silverman to immobilize her,
then Kenneth killed her.
Physical evidence show that Sante practiced signing Irene's name for the deed transfer.
Sante died in prison.
Kenneth too, will likely die in prison, but he at least told the truth.
Both of Kenneth's parents failed him.
Kenneth's father left him nothing in his will, from what I'm told.
Kenneth's mother taught him to practice evil.
Now, about your parents' flaws.
While God doesn't grade on the curve, and sin is sin,
there is also something called 'simple human frailty'.
From Psalm 103: for those who follow God:
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust. (this includes parents)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
18 with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.

Please see this as an opportunity to calibrate your opinion of your childhood,
and of your parents' lives.
