I do have sympathy for your son and I can imagine is going to be difficult to have that conversation with him in the future as to where/why his father is where he is in his life.
I don't obviously know what your relationship was like with Sam, however posters on here have read his police record and it isn't pretty, so they are obviously going to base their/our opinions on what we have read.
I get what you are saying about Johnny and Lisa, but I'd add no one (or at least very few people ) deserve to die by the choices they make in life and in this instance I don't believe their choices should have ended up with them dying in the horrible way they did. Remember no one likes to hear victim blaming.
Can you tell us more about Lisa and Johnny's life choices? What were they doing that would have put them at risk in your opinion?
Why didn't Sam say to his lawyer that he was there buying pills if that was the case?
Anyhow, I wish you the best in bringing up your son, its obviously not going to be easy given what has happened, but if you can bring him up on the straight and narrow and teach him that there are different choices in life to what his father has made, then you will have done a good job.
