In a recent news article posted by The Guardian UK, Ralph Bulger, the father of James Bulger, the toddler who was kidnapped, mutilated and killed by two ten-year-old kids twenty years ago, shares his heartbreaking revelation of how he still could not find it in his heart to forgive his son's killers. In an interview, he reveals that his marriage and family life has been ripped apart by the pain, which led him to rely on drinking to somehow numb the emotional hurt. This only goes to show the amount of suffering that can plague families especially when they lose one of their members and cannot learn how to overcome their resentments.
