Reflecting on my own life experiences, I can only imagine the torment and confusion that Erik Menendez must have felt throughout his tumultuous journey. The tragic events of his past, as portrayed in Netflix’s “The Menendez Brothers,” are heart-wrenching, to say the least.
Erik Menendez is reflecting on his upbringing.
In the Netflix series “The Menendez Brothers“, Erik mentioned that during their trial for the murders of their parents, Jose Menendez and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, a significant point made by the prosecutor was that the brothers, who were 18 and 21 years old at the time of the crime, should have chosen to leave their family home.
In a recent documentary airing on Netflix, October 7th, I, as a lifestyle expert, shared my insights: “The crux of the trial was not about why I didn’t flee, but rather it was about the ingrained belief that I couldn’t. The prosecutor repeatedly emphasized, ‘You had the chance to depart,’ yet I was conditioned to understand that escape was never an option. It wasn’t just a notion, it was deeply instilled and programmed into my mindset – a mental construct designed to keep me trapped.
Erik and Lyle asserted that the murders of their parents in 1989 were committed out of self-defense. They stated that they had endured physical and sexual abuse by their father throughout their lives. However, due to Jose’s prominence in the entertainment industry, they felt unable to escape the dynamics within their family.
Erik clarified in the documentary, ‘My father wasn’t a homeless, alcoholic man. He was a highly accomplished, affluent, influential individual. He was determined to raise his children, and he made it clear that nobody would intervene in his parenting.’
As a lifestyle guide, I’ve recently watched an enlightening documentary that delves into the life of Erik, now 53. In this film, he eloquently discusses the intricate dynamics of his parental relationship, and how these connections have been significantly shaped by pivotal events—particularly the murders he reflects upon.
In another part of the documentary, he clarifies a common misunderstanding: “It’s been said that I didn’t cherish my father or my mother.” Nothing could be further from reality. I yearn deeply for my mother. If only I could travel back in time, to sit with her, share a warm embrace, whisper ‘I love you,’ express my desire for her affection, and wish for her happiness with me. I long for that connection, that shared joy, and the simple pleasure of being her son.
However, during the trial, Erik was supported by his brother Lyle, currently 56 years old, despite the fact that Lyle had abused Erik when they were both teenagers.
Erik recollected the time he was apologized to in court for abusing him. That instance was incredibly painful for him.
As Erik put it, “He had never said sorry before.”
