Eva was ambivalent at best about parenthood.  She definitely did not expect to be the mother of a school shooter.  In a series of letters to her estranged husband she discusses their marriage, their family life and how she has fared in the aftermath of Kevin’s rampage.   The conclusion is heart-stopping.
