What Tracy is not explaining is that Riley felt trapped by religious fundamentalism and the control and emotional abuse that come along with that, as well as Tracy’s constant need for attention from others even at the expense of her own child. It would be everyone’s worst nightmare to lose a child. But she did not care about the signs before it got to that point. It’s heartbreaking to me that Riley felt like he couldn’t get away from her when he had the rest of his family that would have helped him if he had called us that night. He was so close to being an adult and finally being free of her. There’s much more to this story than she’s letting on, and it makes me angry that she is using this as another way to get attention for herself despite our loss as a family and her role in his death. She explicitly stated that we were not welcome at his funeral, so we had to have our own viewing prior to his scheduled viewing. That’s how much she had isolated him from his family. So to claim in an interview that we didn’t go to the funeral because we didn’t care about him is insulting and extremely hurtful. She accused us of “getting him on drugs” and other nonsense instead of actually listening to him and getting him help. He is dead because of her, and I don’t know if I can ever forgive her.
