A new report this morning via NBC is claiming that Adam Lanza had cut off relations with his father, which at present goes against current thinking that it had been Peter Lanza who had decided to edge away from his troubled son’s life deciding instead it would be best that his soon to be ex wife in 2009 have complete custody of him save for occasional vacations.

A successful finance executive with GE it has been argued that Peter Lanza’s time was limited and that in the end he chose to dedicate his time to building his career than spending one on one time with the family. Interestingly when Peter Lanza and his wife Nancy divorced, irreconcilable differences were cited, but no clear mention of what those actual differences were was at the time disclosed. Nevertheless it is understood that the divorce was amicable and Peter Lanza happily volunteered to offer Nancy Lanza $250 000 a year in alimony payments.

With Peter Lanza now yielded a new existence after his divorce and by 2010 now dating a new woman, Adam Lanza it is asserted increasingly withdrew from his father to the point where he even refused to see him. It is understood that the young man had taken his parent’s divorce especially to heart and may have blamed his father for leaving his mother and it has begun to appear to him now leave him.

Despite the new assertions via Peter Lanza’s sister, Martha Lanza that it had been Adam Lanza who had chosen to distance himself, Peter Lanza to date has yet to volunteer to address media questions and has since the tragedy isolated himself from the public. Which of course even raises more conspicuous questions outside of the necessary window of grieving but then again one wonders given the turmoil this man’s son has caused if at least addressing the public would to some degree help the healing process, unless of course there’s more that remains to be seen or begrudgingly disclosed…?

Where were you Peter Lanza?

You divorced his mom, you divorced him

You ran like a coward- you left him hanging from a string
Money in the place of a Father is a terrible thing

You moved an hour away
The further you moved- the more money it would pay

The draw of money was so strong for you
The price you will pay is more than money- so true

You left your home for a new wife- a new life
He wasn’t important- there was too much strife

You left him at a time when he needed you most
Your absence left him as a ghost

Where were you while he was slipping away?
You turned your back on him- we NEED to say

Mom couldn’t do it alone
You walked away- so much indeed for the world to pay

From one Father to another- Sir, you have failed
The pain for so many will never be curtailed

He needed you- a Father- who abandoned his son
You turned your back, he grabbed the gun

You have failed the ultimate test
Now 27 innocents have been put to rest

What a world it could have been
Had this “Father” not committed the cardinal sin

Peter Lanza, the media says you wonder how it all came to be
Look into any mirror Peter and you will come to see

That information isn’t new. It’s been out for a day or two that it was Adam who cut off contact with his father. It wouldn’t be right to expect him to make a public statement anytime soon either. The man just lost a child and the mother of his 2 children, as well as the fact that he is having to emotionally support his other son as well. Only the victims deserve an statement from Peter Lanza, but he is also a victim of this as well, as he has lost 2 loved ones.
