They love alcohol and drugs more than their children.

Responsible ADULTS give up drugs and alcohol FOR their children. That should be obvious.

So what? Some things in life are hard. Does that mean you wont do something because it's hard? So u wont do something hard for your kids?

Mary Zombie · Guru

People like this really don't love

Their children are an extension of themselves and their ego. I'm sure the daughter is heartbroken now but ultimately she's lucky he is out of her life even though it probably doesn't seem like that now.

Oh, boo f'ing hoo. Not easy. Life is not easy. You do what you have to for the people you love. If you won't, you don't love them as much as whatever it is you won't give up.

No, life is NOT easy.

I never said it was.

This is reminding me of one of my favorite quotes:

"In life you have to do a lot of things you don't ****ing want to do. Many times, that's what the **** life is... one vile ****ing task after another." Al Swearengen - Deadwood.

I agree totally. Do you think the men that worked coal mines to support their families had it EASY. When you become a parent, it's not about doing the EASY thing, it's about doing the RIGHT thing. And if doing the right thing were easy, everyone would do it and the world would be perfect.

The guilt may have gotten to Hernandez. I mean, what if he was guilty of those murders and acquitted? That means he wouldn't face punishment for those deaths. If he had a conscience, he could have felt guilty and remorseful, and not punished.

So the mother oh one of his victims said the Patriots should give all the victims' families money. What a cash grab wannabe!

FNW · Guru

Wow. Disgusting.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

The thing is, now that he is dead, his estate goes to his daughter. It is no longer his. I think the lawyers all know this and are trying to get payment somewhere. My bet is he set up some sort of trust so in death she would get it and there would be no estate to sue.

You keep protesting that things are "hard" as if that means someone can't or shouldn't do them.

No. Just commenting on the words you SAY.

If the murder conviction is vacated, the Patriots owe Hernandez $6M and the mother of the victim wants the Pats to turn that money over to her directly. Yep, they really must be concerned the estate will not be available to them to get their hands on.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I hear people say "oh but it's hard" all the time for all kinds of things. People have no grit or discipline anymore. Yeah, many things in life are "hard". So, strap on your big girl or big boy pants and get busy.

I just LOVE your sweeping generalizations.

On this thread alone, people have said, "Just quit," like it's the same as ordering a pizza.

Who said its the same as ordering pizza? Talk about sweeping generalizations.

I feel for her too. I do think her lawyer is steering her wrong. My employer could not legally send my last pay check to someone's family I committed a crime against.

Here's a debate:

Who is more entitled to the money, his daughter or the victim's family?

The fiance will have access to the money. SHe can claim to be spending it on the child. Nobody is really watching that closely. Or, she will just wait it out till the kid is 18 if it is in a trust fund or something.

I wouldnt have a problem with them compensating the victims with a percentage. He destroyed their lives.

But who is "them"? The Patriots? They give Hernandez's money to anyone but his estate. The courts? Well depending how Hernandez left his estate, it may not be up for grabs.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

You can't just "compensate" the victims. They need a judgment in court to get at that money. And it needs to be in his estate for that to happen - if he had beneficiaries on his account, they will get it.

And the state of Massachusetts now says he is still innocent, which makes a lawsuit against a dead man much harder to win.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I know. I am just saying that if they file a civil suit or something , they might get some damages. But, that is up to a court to decide.

FNW · Guru

Didn't the Brown and Goldman families win a civil suit against OJ? I'm pretty sure they received nothing.
