You know, I say "Don't talk to me about context", and that's what people try to do.

So let's say this again.

There is no appropriate context for saying, in front of your child, that you've thought of killing her.

This is not up for debate.

There is no appropriate context for saying, in front of your child, that you've thought of killing her.

No, not even if it was to be a murder-suicide instead of a straight murder.

There is no appropriate context for saying, in front of your child, that you've thought of killing her.

No, not even if it was "really scary" to you.

It's just wrong.

There is no context that makes this okay. And I'm not about to discuss that point as though there is such a context.

Because there isn't.

Now, you want to argue if it's ever all right to say "I'm so overwhelmed, life would be easier if..." or "Man, my kid is being such a brat, I can't take it!" - do that with each other.

But I am dead serious here. If I thought anybody I knew would ever say such disgusting things in front of their children - I would have to stop talking to them. Now. Because there is absolutely no context that makes that right.

Abuse is abuse is abuse.

It's amazing that sometimes people have to point that out. And a little depressing.
