Dylan Klebold's mom breaks her silence

You remember Dylan Klebold don't you? How about Tuesday, April 20, 1999? That was the date when he and his friend Eric went on the rampage at their Denver area high school and killed and wounded several students and then themselves.

I remember that tragedy. I was working with high school students at the time. Trying to help them process that event was...well let's just say...difficult.

In an act of courage, Dylan's mom finally breaks her silence to talk about what happened that day and how she and her husband have tried to cope with what their son did. I found the article interesting and yet not answering all of my questions. But can all the questions ever really be answered?

Regardless of how you feel about what happened, remember that there is much blame to go around. My question is if there is enough sympathy and understanding to accept the parents and to allow them the opportunity to grieve not only for their son, but for what he did.

I encourage you to read the article and to remember this...people make bad decisions at times. I think Dylan and Eric made terrible decisions based on an incredible amount of personal pain they were dealing with that they had no idea how to handle. And we must remember this also. We could have been those parents.

Here's the link to the article. Susan Klebold breaks her silence.

In regards to real estate, here's something to consider. How would someone ever sell the family home after such an event? Is it even sellable? I don't know if they ever sold it or if they still live there or if it was torn down (I don't think it was).

If they do live in their home, you can be sure that they either have the greatest neighbors on the planet...or their lives have been pretty tough.
