Agreed 1000%. Was shocked the Mom was the bad apple. Side note- Not much mention of DJ after Aaron went to UF. Ya gotta wonder, too, if they lost touch a bit, thus making DJ less influential in his life, thus leading to the issues. If DJ had stayed tighter and closer with him, would some of this stuff have been avoided? Anyway, regardless, it's tragic not just for the victims but for everyone involved. Sad all the way around IMO.Great article - really sheds a lot of light. Was hearing bits and pieces and kind of assumed that the father was really the impetuous for all his bad behavior - nothing could be further from the truth - it really turned out to be the mother. Interesting in the article that they mention he never bought her a house like so many athletes do. You really just see a series of bad things happen to the kid and he is ultimately just left with the wrong people around him at the time he is most vulnerable. Not condoning his actions at all but you could see how much of a glue his dad was and once he passed his life spun out of control. His brother was good too but he was away at college. Sad story on so many different levels.
