“We spoke to another relative who also said she was worried about the defense of her home if there was a collapse of the economy [on screen - close up casual photo of Mrs. Lanza]. She wanted to have weapons on hand to defend them which of course only underscores the irony that those were the guns used by her own child to kill her and so many others.”

I'm thinking he probably divorced her because she was a nut.

It's just as likely she believed in 12/21/12.

It's called a guess. Did I say "I KNOW" he divorced her because she was a nut?

If she was a nut, she was a nut who collected nearly $300K in alimony payments every year.

The divorce may have happened because of the boy. This son could have been a hell of a handful and the husband wanted out, providing a comfortable income for the mother in order to take care of both of them and relieving his guilt by bailing out.

She sounds like one of those people who who would be profiled on that show "Doomsday Preppers". She would have been an example of the upscale "Soccer Mom Prepper".

The kid was a quiet and shy. How was he a "handfull"? He was not the type to snap if someone tried to take his cake.
