Talk:Alberta Gay

State of Mr. and Mrs. Gay's marriage

Judging from Mrs. Gay's statements in the book Divided Soul, I always had the impression that her marriage to Marvin Sr. was essentially 49 years of a loveless union, since she said in one of her final interviews with David Ritz that she now realized that Marvin Sr. never loved her any more than Marvin Jr. and also claimed Marvin Sr. neither wanted nor loved Marvin Jr., let alone accept that he was his son. She also said that she had considered divorcing Marvin Sr. for years and years before he killed Marvin, but I don't understand why she stayed with him all those years if their marriage really was as contentious as she and biographers claim due to Marvin Sr.'s abusive behaviour, domestic violence, infidelity, perpetual unemployment, chronic alcoholism, cross-dressing, jealousy of Marvin, lack of understanding of how to treat their children and indifference to raising her illegitimate son Michael not to mention that he himself fathered Antwaun Carey with another woman without Alberta`s knowledge. She also said that Marvin Sr. expressed no remorse for killing Marvin for what he had done.

On the other hand, what the media and biographers are unaware of is that Marvin Sr. never hated Marvin, despite that horrible final act and his treatment of him as a child and he was genuinely remorseful for killing Marvin, because at his trial as seen on YouTube, he was visibly crying and upset, so his tears and snivelling were real, not feigned. For years, I myself never interpreted from Marvin Sr.'s statements nor Marvin's conversations that they never hated each other.
