Wow! the son has a lot of psychological issues. I pray for Peace for his heart since so much anger and vile is being thrown out at his father even after the murder of his Dad :-(. So sad!

His son has issues? Your praying for him? Why? Because he came out and let it be known who and what is father was really about? After all who would know better than his own son how is father was?

Thanks Dr. Pouillon for letting the world know your father was a woman hater, abuser and what his true intentions were.

Can we get confirmation that this person is really his son? This is too bizarre to take at face value.
And it is disgraceful for a son to write these things publically about his murdered father.
Shame on you doctor!

Well I for one and many believe Dr. Pouillon a lot of us know thru court documents Jim Pouillon was a sadist and evil man Jim Pouillon was especially horrific to his poor wife. If he has ONE daughter that still defends him I believe it's called something WRONG with HER!!!! Check court documents!!!

How does someone automatically say the son has issues? Are you kidding Renee? Perhaps you enjoy people who harm others so you want to stick up for the father?

I'm really his son.

I don't have anger issues, I don't hate him. I'm not bitter.

I just know him for what he was. I watched it happen. I know things about him that no one else alive does.

My dad admitted himself to a psych ward for the 1st time on the fall of 1982, he went to St Lawrence Hopsital in Lansing. The 2nd admission was to the Memorial Hosp in Owosso a few years later. Feel free to petition the court to obtain his medical records and pscyh evals.

After the divorce my dad started hurting the kids to get to my mom. He stopped giving my sister Sarah insulin, she went to the hospital in a diabetic coma, the courts put Sarah in a foster home in Lansing. This was the worst thing he ever did to my mom.

My dad has friends and family members that will defend all of this. I can't explain it.

If humanity can produce pedophile priests, we can produce woman-hating abortion protestors that call themselves Christian.

Look it up for yourself if you don't believe me.

yes i am the second son......and i have never once in my 24 years on this planet seen my older brother speak to my father..he says he knew him BUT HE DIDNT...heck my brother doesnt even speak to any of his siblings

my brother only knows my dad from long long ago....24 years ago....when he was a drinkier and a abuser...but he was not like that...HE CHANGED! i grew up with him in my life....he never laid a finger on any of us kids....and always did whatever he could for us....he went above and beyond what he needed to do

so jimmy you can keep writing posts on the internet and bad mouth your father all u want....

What a head case this podiatrist, Jim Pouillon is. Even if he hates his father, which he clearly does, going public like he has shows what a "loser" is all about.

Jimmy, I'm sorry you never got to know the saved Dad. He changed, he repented, and he tried over and over again to get in touch with you to say he was sorry for his past. I would like to point out it was the court that took Sarah away from Dad and put her into foster care. Dad did everything he could for Sarah, but once she was old enough, she decided to go her own way. He was at least at her funeral; I can't say the same about you. I'm sorry you never knew the Dad I did, but I'm also sorry that I have never had an older brother. You abanded us kids after the divorce. If he was so bad, why did you leave us with him? Dad never laid a finger on me, but Mom did, and you knew about that. What did you do about it? Nothing. You stayed away. It hurts my heart so much to see the bitterness you do have; if you didn't then you wouldn't say such things. Dad never denied the man he was before Christ; it's a shame that humans cannot forgive him. Dad was at every sporting event of mine and Lance's he could make it to - where were you? Dad was at both of our graduations - where were you? Dad was there to raise his two grandhildren when they got removed from their mother - where were you?

I only hope that Luke is a better big brother than his dad is.

If any of you would like questions answered about the man of God my Dad was, try asking the people that knew him, not the ones that turned their backs and walked away with out so much as a tug on their hearts for ALL they left behind.

I love families. My heart hurts when I see offenses between loved ones become so severe that bitterness fragments the family.

Forgiveness is not easy.

When we think about forgiving, we feel they will have a hay day taking advantage of us and our loved ones. It feels wimpy, weak, undignified, and foolish. But, if they know we will hurt them back, they'll back off and respect us. As a kid, I was told if a bully attacks you, fight back, and if you have to fight to the death, don't die without leaving your marks. But, this approach to life has problems.

...This is a weird exercise, but imagine you're the devil...

Strut around the room proudly for a moment. Make a weird, glaring look. You may want to practice this in the mirror a few times to get it right.

You start out as an angel proud of your beauty and power and you're full of ambition, and you're flaunting it. It isn't enough to be exalted above all the other angels; you feel entitled to dethrone God.

Yet everything you ever had and ever were came from God. Although a third of the angels went along with your plot of mutiny, the rest of heaven detested your actions and you and your followers were cast down to earth to await an eternity in hell. You had endangered the well-being of all the universe for your own selfish ambitions.

Your heart is full of hate, but you are powerless to hurt God. However, you see God left his loved ones here on earth. What better way to hurt God than to get God's loved ones to betray Him? To hate Him, to turn against Him, to deny His very existence?

What strategy would you use? How to get the most destruction from the least effort? How to put destruction on auto-pilot and get people to destroy each other spiritually and physically?

Jesus gave the answer Himself. They have to forgive to be forgiven.

Bitter people can justify any atrocity or sin. If you can start a fight between people, you can leave them alone and work on starting problems elsewhere.

This is an effective strategy to destroy people who are saved and belong to God. Most of the others can be left alone, and by doing this, it destroys the situation where the world will know they're Christians by their love. They're prayer life will be wrecked. Their relationship with God will turn the skies over their heads to brass when they try to pray. They may become bitter toward God.

And how cool is that? Slap them on the face and they'll blame God?
Slap them again and again and harder and harder, and they'll blame God even more. They'll say God doesn't exist because He could have prevented the slapping but didn't.

The ones the devil has to worry about are the ones who have overcome bitterness by the grace of God. They are the ones who are poor in spirit. They are the ones who have realized their offenses toward God were infinitely greater than any offence they could suffer.

As their joy fills, they rejoice in the love of God and bring Him glory. As their pain grows, they seize it and take it as their precious opportunity to express their greatest love for God and others by loving through the pain and declaring their emancipation from the slavery of the devil who would command people to curse God and die. The grave has been denied. Hell and death are overcome. Love has won.

I speak as someone who has known both Jim Pouillon's longer than anyone else who has posted. Mary Jo and Lance, I am so glad that you got to know a different father than Jimmy did, and I sincerely hope your dad's private persona was different from his public persona. The public Jim was the one I knew and the one my family knew. The way Jimmy describes him is the one to which I can attest.

Personally, I would not call any of you "head cases". Lance, I will always remember you fondly as one of my favorite 4th graders in religious ed. Your mother was one of the nicest people I ever knew. Your Grandpa Kadera was always able to crack me up with his good humour. Jimmy, you've always been a good guy which is something I have attributed to your mother's kind and forgiving influence and your amazing resilience.

Being born again requires a person to transform themselves under the love of Christ. Screaming at people is not love and does not reflect the love of Christ. Personally, I had no issue with your dad's signs. However, I had grave issues with his anger and chosen methods of venting it. I did not see a transformation in him. Lance and Mary Jo, I'm glad that apparently the two of you did, but again and admittedly, I did not see his private persona and his public persona did not bear witness to him walking in the ways a different spirit.

Jimmy, as the oldest child, by the very nature of being the oldest, had a far different relationship with both of your parents than any of the other four of you would. This does not denigrate the relationship any of the rest of you had with either parent. Please recognize that you all have had different, but valid in their own way, relationships with your folks.

All you Pouillons have been in my thoughts and prayers for many years because of the abuse your mother received at the hands of your father, because you had to witness it, because you had to find a way to move on from it. You've had too many losses in your young lives. Don't lose each other anymore.
