if they apply here, are reinforced/exacerbated by the culture of TSCC, and its priesthood dominance. Not to mention the patriarchal culture often gives deference to abusers, excusing them, and does not take the needs of abused women, and children seriously.
from "Fathers Who Kill" By Katherine Ramsland
Motives
Ewing offers a list of motives for familicide, as does Dr. Herbert Stream in Our Wish to Kill and Christine Jackman in “When Dads Get Deadly.” Jointly, they cover the following reasons why men kill their families:
Losing control over the family circumstances/panic over powerlessness
Seeing only adverse circumstances ahead in life/desperation/frustration
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to let the family live while he dies
Seeing the deaths as a necessary sacrifice
Believing the children cannot survive without him
Revenge against an estranged wife, or teaching her a lesson
Grief over losing the family in a divorce
Discipline gone too far
Possessiveness/entitlement/ownership
Psychosis
Self-enrichment
Projecting their self-hatred onto the children
Killing witnesses to abuse
A joint crime with the mother—erasing the family
Compassion
Duty to the family
Suicide by proxy
Jealousy of children who are getting involved with others
Difficulty adjusting to being a parent
A long tradition of abuse in the family that just continues
The idea that children must serve the parent’s needs
