Why I sought out this series was for an understanding of how these murderers' lives & upbringing may be different from a normal persons & may have contributed to how they developed such a disregard for human life & a desire to kill.
There is evidence that a person's mother plays a significant role in one's perception & how one adjusts to life (especially in regards to serial killers), but just as important is the father. While the main focus here is on the mother; there are hints to the father being a damaging affect on the person as well. The result though, is that naturally the child develops an unnatural attachment to the mother & suffers a rejection by the father. Let's not underemphasize the significance of this by arguing that "the mother's aren't to blame".
Of course no mother is taught how to mother, even so, they will affect their child & it's important to see how mother's may have behaved in these cases.
