How would you react? I went for beers with a friend after work today and a man walked in the bar that I recognized immediately, then he sat down right behind me. It was none other than Rusty Yates - Andrea Yates' ex-husband. I don't want to elevate him to celebrity status, but I was overcome by emotion. Part of me wanted to turn around, poor my beer in his lap, slap the s**t out of him and give him a piece of my mind. The other part felt nothing but pity; sorry that he lost his children, sorry that he lost his wife, sorry that he lost the life he had built. I must admit, the former got me. It just seems so sad that there he is, living a life with a new wife, and the mother of his five children is simply existing in a home, never to return to normalcy, and he's sitting in a bar laughing it up with his friends. I'm sorry, but I feel he is as much to blame as she is. You just don't live day in and day out with someone suffering that way and not notice. This could have turned out so much different if he had only taken the time. |
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh................thats a hard one, sad, thats all i can say. sad.......... |
I agree, he knew she was having problems, and their parents knew that she was having problems. He had her squished into a tiny trailer with 5 small children. Who wouldn't go nuts. But I would have sat there an not said a word either way, because it is all over and done. He may have known she was having problems, but on the other hand who would think that the person you loved would kill your children. That, in my mind is inconceivable. If you believe in God I guess you have to believe that it was Gods will. Those little angels came to earth with a message, and their job was over. May we all be better parents, grand parents, aunts, uncles, and friends, because of what those children suffered. |
I agree with you I just don't understand why he didn't step in and doing anything instead they kept having children. That's really really sad:( |
I agree it's really sad, the little children oh it just breaks my heart to even think about it. God will judge her and her ex husband that's not my place. |
Is this the guy and his wife...she killed all 5 of her kids???????:mad: :mad: |

His ex-wife killed all five of her children my drowning them!! It's sad but only god can judge him and his wife!! |
I wouldn't have said anything, but I blame the mother more. If she felt stressed we are a great country to have social services. We even have free birth control! I understand post-partum depression, but I also don't believe in making excuses. If you did it, own up to it and get what you have coming. Murdering her kids took time. She could have called someone after what happened with the first one. I don't even understand why she wasn't charged for the murders of her 2 and 3 year olds. I feel the most sorry for the 7 year old.... he was the one old enough to understand what was going and that the mother he trusted was hurting him. :( I feel terrible for him the most. I can't understand why the husband supported his wife through the whole thing. I have to wonder who supports the kids? Won't someone speak for what happened to them? Oh a similar note... I found this article recently... a man was convicted of killing his 9 kids. He even had insest relationships with them. http://www.religionnewsblog.com/11461 |
Chestersmom - I think you summed up what many people think about Rusty Yates. That poor woman was mentally unbalanced to do what she did but ...there was something wrong with HIM too - he HAD to know something was very wrong - no woman wakes up one morning and kills all her children without showing some signs of illlness - I always felt he must have known she had severe problems & choose to ignore it. And then to act so forgiving after was UNNATURAL....As much as he must have been devestated by the deaths of all his children - I think the way he stood by her & claimed he loved her was a PR move all the way... till he could get on with his own life. Edited to add....lol - I just realized I pretty much repeated what you said....sorry !! I would feel the same way if I saw him in public. |
