quarter 3 book summary

My book was about an abusive mother to her two children that later killed her because they couldn't take it any more. The main character is Jane and she has two kids by two different men. Her first son she treats like more of a mistake because she despised his father who committed suicide because she wouldn't give him the time of day any more because she no longer wanted to be with him. Jane's second son is treated much better then Jason her first son, but still isn't treated like a son should be treated. Mathew's father left Jane because he couldn't take her any more. He realized how much she hated her first son Jason, she would yell at him for the smallest things and sometimes just put him outside for hours at a time and he would sit out there until she was ready for him to come inside. Jose left her once for the way she treated there sons, but he eventually came back. He left once again after they had a big argument which she started waving knives at him which wasn't an unusual thing. Once she realized he wasn't coming back she called the cops on him saying he sexual assaulted her and that resulted in him spending 3 months in jail. He would have spent a longer sentence, but he got out on good behavior. Once he got out the next time he saw his sons again was on the news for a crime of killing there mother. After Jane's first husband death she moved because she didn't like her family much and just couldn't take them at all. As a kid you should play outside as much as you can and associate with people because its harder to do once you get older, but Jane allowed none of that as much as she could. Most of the time Jason and Matthew would go and play outside when there mother was gone, but would hurry back inside when they thought she was on her way back home. Matthew wanted to join a hockey team and his mother was resistant at first, but eventually she gave in and she joined. Matthew was a joy to the team and was probably one of the better players on the team. The team's coaches wanted phone numbers from each of the players parents for practice times and game times, but Jane gave them a new number almost every month because around this time she thought someone from the music industry was was after her and was out to get her for some strange reason, but she soon left the team. Matthew joined a different hockey team later and again he was a joy on the team, but once other parents and coaches tried to befriend his mother they realized they couldn't get threw to her at all. So Matthew was removed form the team, but a team dad which was a cop made sure he let Matthew know it was his mother's fault 100% that he couldn't stay on the team. Jason was nothing like Matthew and kept to him self whether it was at school or at home. Even when Jason would go to Matthews hockey game he wasn't doing much talking or watching, but homework or playing a held hand game. Jason was smart and only received nothing, but straight A's and it had to stay that way or else he would get beat. Being so smart and uptight made him a kid who wasn't so popular but he often talked about being other people superior which of course people took to offense. Being so smart Jason was allowed to skip the eleventh grade and graduate being at the edge of seventeen. He did this for the reason any one else would have had done at this point in his life and that was to get away form his crazy and abusing mother. Later in the years the boys had enough and in 2003 they took it to the max and let their mother know they weren't going to take any more from her so they killed her and cut off her head and hands so it would make it harder for the police to identify her. They got the idea off of the hit series The Sopranos.

OK, so this sounds like a true story. Is it? Because if it is, I am a little upset that I have not heard of these boys before. All-in-all it sounds like a very interesting book. It would have been better though if you stumpled across this book during our juvenille justice series. I personally love books about murders, and I love them even more so if I sympathize with the murder. When I get the chance I will be reading this book.
