I didn't feel sorry for anyone. Hollow people. All of hem
Like the reason this all happened was because father was so strict and she was so afraid of his pressure that she had to pretend she was going to University. This is INSANE.
Despite her parents' high expectations that Jennifer receive good grades in lower school, her grades throughout high school were somewhat average (in the 70% range) except for music.
She forged report cards multiple times, deceiving her parents into thinking she earned straight As. When Jennifer failed calculus class in grade 12, Ryerson University rescinded her early admission. As she could not bear to be perceived as a failure, she began to lie to those she knew, including her parents, and pretended she was attending university. Instead, she sat in cafés, taught as a piano instructor and worked in a restaurant to earn money.
In order to maintain the charade, Jennifer told her parents she had won scholarships, later falsely claiming that she had accepted an offer into the pharmacology program at the University of Toronto. She went to the extent of purchasing second-hand textbooks and watching videos related to pharmacology in order to create notebooks full of purported class notes that she could show her parents.
This was a giant dedication to go out every day, FOR YEARS, to pretend she is in University and then stay out til evening. And she only did that because her parents demanded her to be successful. But she was simply not smart enough to be in University. Some people just can't. Their brains can't work like that and can't remember everything to get A's.
But her parents refused to accept that and were pressuring and pressuring. To the point that she decided it would be easier to kill them then to continue to live in this lie and pressure.
We don't know that much about mother. Maybe she was also victim of strict husband. But I wonder if during all those years father felt his own guilt in what happened. Because none of that would happen if he would not put such pressure on her with studying. She would finish school and went to live her life as ordinary small person. share
