Betty Broderick’s son says his actions are ‘unforgivable’ and tries to remember the ‘good times’

Betty BroderickAwakening’s son tries to deal with his grief now that she’s gone… because, even though she obviously killed his father, he also thinks about the good times.

Daniel Broderick — Betty’s son and Daniel — tells TMZ…of course, her relationship with her mother became complicated after she killed her ex-husband and his new wife in 1989.

That said, Daniel also tries to remember the good times…saying she was an amazing mom back then – engaged, smart, fun and funny.

Despite his mother’s actions, Daniel says he and his three siblings — all of whom were at Betty’s bedside when she died — loved both of their parents…and they tried to find a way to move past the tragedy for their own sake.

What Betty did is unforgivable, Daniel says… but she’s also their parent. The siblings do not absolve him of his responsibilities, but they must move forward on their own.

We broke the story… Betty died Friday at a California medical facility where she was taken last month. She was serving a sentence of 32 years to life. Towards the end of his life, Daniel tells us about Betty suffered from several septic infections… and several broken ribs in a fall in prison.

Betty killed Dan Broderick and his 21-year-old assistant, Linda – with whom he had an affair and then married – in 1989 after stealing the key to their house from her daughter. She was sentenced to two consecutive sentences of 15 years to life.

Betty was denied parole three times. She was eligible again in 2032.
