I really have no clue as to how to feel about the subject of having a family member in jail. In Persepolis the author has many family members in and out of jail, (some even die there,) yet she considers them heroes. I guess they were freedom fighters, but what about a man protecting his children? If he picks up a gun and kills his ex wife for abusing and allowing abuse upon his three son's does this make his actions correct, or does it make him a dumb ass for not bringing it to the attention of others. Or if he did bring it to the attention of proper authorities, why the hell didn't they do anything about it before it got this bad? Why would they wait until the man got pushed to the brink of madness and then rake him over the coals for trying to protect his children? Fortunately for me the mother of my children isn't abusive, she's just a bad parent, (I don't know how that's any better but I guess it has to be because I haven't done anything stupid yet.) Though I don't know if I could, I'm just not violent enough to take another life, and if my children were in danger I would hope that I was wise enough to make the right decision, not a rash one that could ruin more lives than just mine.
