Lyle is so mature and I hope he has gotten the help he needs in jail, they should have been given therapy instead of being in jail, that's what I think 😢❤🎉
Every child deserves a loving mother, a mother who will always protect and care for them. I'm sorry Lyle and Erik never had that, at least now they know the rest of their family loves them and wants the best for them.
A really true mother that loves her kids, will always know what is going on with your kids, especially when it's happening in your own home,she knew what her husband was doing she just didn't care,😢
Lyle and Erik formed a very strong trauma bond which included protecting their mother. Finding out kitty had known what was going on and did nothing to protect them was a betrayal their already fragile minds could not make sense of. It’s difficult to function as an adult under this kind of distress. To do this to your own children is, almost, unforgivable.
For those ppl who question their abuse by saying, well why did they shoot their mother so many times and their dad only got 5 shots? That must mean they killed them for the money. Nope. This testimony from Lyle shows how resentful he was of their mom for not doing anything to protect them and letting them be abused by their dad. If she were any other mother, she could’ve stood up to Jose and left him taking her boys away from him but she made her decision and this was her unfortunate ending
Lyle siempre tendrá en su corazon a su madre ,,más con dolor ,que por amor ,,,ella nunca sintió amor por sus hijos ,más sin embargo ellos lo anhelaban ,,son hombres buenos y sufren por su fatal desicion ,,,.muchas gentes ya los amamos,no están solos ,tienen su familia que los ama y apoya ,,que les den su libertad por favor 🙏🌹❤️
Sometimes you have to exaggerate the truth or lie so that the truth comes out. They had 51 witnesses and they weren’t going to believe that they were sexually abused no matter what anybody said.
You can tell Lyle was the most angry just based off how he was moving!! He’s the one who went back and reloaded that should tell you everything you need to know about he really felt about her
Poor Lyle .... i don't blame him for not forgiving her. To not only be raped by Jose from 6 -8 ( maybe longer) How could he tell her ?and kitty to be inappropriate ftom 11 -14 Abd never protect them. What mother let's it happen ?
There was no way that these kids know what is going on. They had no idea what is normal and what is not normal. Even after murder, they talk about s.x not about abuse or rape!!!!! Today, it is unbelievable how the sociaty changed, awareness about abuse and everything. We had i 2024. The case with French woman who is a real hero and said that she wants public court process about how her husband organized more than 50 persons to rape her. She shifted the shame from victim to those criminals. Brothers were victims. They had no chance. Alfter all, the system did no believe them, they were 35 years in prison . Even if they are free tomorrow, there is no way now to get a life again.

This underscores the need for more open dialogues about abuse within families, enabling victims to feel safe and supported when sharing their experiences. The failure to communicate can often lead to tragic misunderstandings and a lack of necessary intervention. * 🛑 Denial and Ignorance: The testimony points to a common phenomenon in cases of familial abuse: denial and ignorance. Lyle’s mother seemingly chose not to acknowledge the signs of abuse, which raises questions about her role as a protector. This highlights a critical insight into the psychological mechanisms that can lead individuals to ignore uncomfortable truths within their families, often resulting in further victimization. * 😔 Impact on Relationships: The emotional fallout from the abuse extends beyond the direct victim; it affects familial relationships profoundly.

This insight points to the need for educational initiatives that inform families about the signs of abuse and the importance of intervention. * 🕊️ Healing and Forgiveness: Lyle’s expression of tears for their mother indicates a deep-seated desire for healing and forgiveness, despite the pain. This complexity shows that the process of healing from abuse is multifaceted and often includes navigating feelings of love, loss, and forgiveness toward those who may have failed to protect the victim. Understanding this emotional landscape is crucial for therapists and support systems working with survivors of abuse. * ⚖️ Accountability and Responsibility: The testimony calls for accountability, both for the abuser and the family members who may have turned a blind eye. It raises critical discussions about the responsibilities of parents to protect their children and the moral implications of inaction. This insight encourages conversations about the societal structures that support or hinder accountability in cases of abuse, advocating for systemic changes that prioritize victim protection and support. In conclusion, the video highlights the complex emotional dynamics surrounding abuse, familial relationships, and the intricate pathways towards healing and accountability. Lyle’s testimony serves as a powerful reminder of the need for open communication, awareness, and compassion in addressing the devastating effects of abuse and don’t ignore any signs , otherwise there might be bigger harm .
Lyle you are right to feel this way..I would not forgive her 💔
Lyle is so mature and I hope he has gotten the help he needs in jail, they should have been given therapy instead of being in jail, that's what I think 😢❤🎉
He has been getting therapy last few years and years and his brother Erick for everything they went through
Lyle we all love you so much, you are such wonderful human being
Whoever that lady he is talking to..she's tryna make him seem like he's lying 🙄
The reality is that some people watching need more clarity than what was given in the trial.
You don't have to forgive her but it will heal you in some way that you forgive yourselves for what you did, nothing was your fault ❤
"What kind of mother lets it happen?" Same question we've all been asking ever since learning about the case😢 That was NO mother
It doesnt matter. She was an absent mother anyway😢
I hope your aunty Joan is okay 🙏
Lyle, words can't describe how much I love you ❤
You were too good for your horrible parents.
Every child deserves a loving mother, a mother who will always protect and care for them. I'm sorry Lyle and Erik never had that, at least now they know the rest of their family loves them and wants the best for them.
I agree ❤
lyle, you don’t have to explain yourself. you’ve already been through so much
they were horrible people, they didn't love you 😢
A really true mother that loves her kids, will always know what is going on with your kids, especially when it's happening in your own home,she knew what her husband was doing she just didn't care,😢
Lyle and Eric we love u two so much.
I wish one day I could see you
Lyle and Erik formed a very strong trauma bond which included protecting their mother. Finding out kitty had known what was going on and did nothing to protect them was a betrayal their already fragile minds could not make sense of.
It’s difficult to function as an adult under this kind of distress. To do this to your own children is, almost, unforgivable.
Love you 😘so so much Lyle ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He told her cousin AND The cousin told Kitty
They are not alone
no there not!
He didn't have to say anything. A good and caring mother could understand😡
Yes. You can love someone and still don't forgive what they did to you. Every single person in this world wants to be loved by your own mother.
Beautiful Lyle!!
FREE MENENDEZ, BROTHERS
How do people want proof of abuse? Because of course the abuser doesn't want to be discovered because they know that's wrong and illegal.
For those ppl who question their abuse by saying, well why did they shoot their mother so many times and their dad only got 5 shots? That must mean they killed them for the money. Nope. This testimony from Lyle shows how resentful he was of their mom for not doing anything to protect them and letting them be abused by their dad. If she were any other mother, she could’ve stood up to Jose and left him taking her boys away from him but she made her decision and this was her unfortunate ending
Don't forget he was sexually abused by his mother as well. He probably had so much anger for her.
@@canwegetmuchhigher729 yes this true

He said in the trial he told his mother dad keeps touching and I want him to stop and she said don't make it up.
Desde Argentina que los liberen ❤❤

Kitty was no mother
You can tell Lyle was the most angry just based off how he was moving!! He’s the one who went back and reloaded that should tell you everything you need to know about he really felt about her
That's why Lyle was giving Erik the sideye in the Babara Walters interview when he said "I forgive them completely for what they have done to me" 👀
So true. Lyle wasn't feeling that way at all and rightfully so. He doesn't have to forgive.
@@elizabethrendon7330 I'm glad Lyle doesn't forgive
What he told her WAS SA :( - undressing him to do sports massages etc :(
If she wasn’t blind she would know

The mom always knew😢 how can she s.a lyle also
