FROM DAILY MAIL: The mother of Michigan church shooter Thomas Michael Sanford shared a post on Facebook about people who lack accountability just days before the massacre in Michigan.
Brenda Walters-Sanford posted the message on September 26 – two days before her 40-year-old son Thomas Jacob Sanford smashed his truck into the Grand Blanc Township church, opened fire and set it the building ablaze, killing at least four people.
The text appears to have been shared by several Facebook users, suggesting its a viral chain. It is unclear of Walters-Sanford was directing it at her son, someone else she knew, or just making a general comment about how divided Americans have become on political issues.
Walters-Sanford shared the following text:
People lack accountability, then say, “You could’ve talked to me.” No, I couldn’t. You don’t listen. You deflect. You twist everything into an attack and then play the victim. Conversations with you aren’t healing-they’re exhausting, draining, and emotionally suffocating. Every time I try to speak, it feels like walking through a maze of blame where my words are used against me, my intentions questioned, and my emotions invalidated. I end up questioning myself, doubting my own perceptions, because nothing I say lands without being turned into some justification for your behavior.
I’ve spent too long bending, softening, and framing my words to fit the narrative you want, hoping for connection, for understanding, for a simple acknowledgment of reality. But it never comes. Instead, there’s defensiveness, twisting, and manipulation, all while you act like the wronged party. And honestly, I can’t—and I won’t-invest my emotional energy in someone who consistently prioritizes winning over understanding, control over empathy, and excuses over responsibility.
I don’t owe my peace to someone who shows up only to argue, to gaslight, to manipulate, and then claim victimhood when the consequences of their actions are pointed out. My time, my energy, my clarity, and my emotional well-being are precious, and I am done sacrificing them for someone who refuses to engage honestly. I will protect my calm, my boundaries, and my truth, even if it means walking away from the illusion of connection you so desperately cling to but never truly embody.
The attack, which came on a Sunday morning at around 10:25 a.m., left at least four people dead and eight wounded. Authorities are searching the building’s ruins for additional victims, and they believe they will find more.
