Excerpt: A private email from Petra Quick, formerly Petra Jehličková, née Štočková, shows her strongly negative attitude toward her father, Oldřich Štoček. In October 2017, she wrote to her mother that it was better not to see him and that she hoped he would end up in hell after his death.
Private email reveals what Petra wrote about her father
Petra Quick, formerly Petra Jehličková, née Štočková, expressed a very strong negative attitude toward her father Oldřich Štoček in her private email correspondence.
The email is dated 19 October 2017 and was sent by Petra to her mother, Jana Štočková.
This was not a later public statement or a text prepared for the police, a court, or the media. It was private communication between a daughter and her mother.
Petra wrote:
“If there is a hell for bad parents, I hope he ends up there after his death, for what a terrible father and grandfather he was. No comment.”
She also wrote that it was better not to see him, because then at least one did not have to become angry.
“A terrible father and grandfather”
The wording is extremely harsh and clearly shows how Petra described her father at that time.
She did not merely say that their relationship was bad. She explicitly described him as a “terrible father and grandfather” and expressed the hope that he would end up in hell after his death.
The message is particularly noteworthy because it records Petra’s own words in private correspondence that was not intended for the public.
A deeply conflictual family relationship
The email itself documents a highly conflictual relationship between Petra and her father.
If there are dozens of additional emails from different periods, they can be used to build a broader chronological picture of the family relationship and to show whether the message of 19 October 2017 was an isolated emotional outburst or part of a long-term attitude.
The chronology of the complete correspondence is therefore more important than a single isolated message.
From this email alone, however, it is not possible to determine who was responsible for the conflict, how it began, or to what extent Petra’s attitude was influenced by other family members.
What the email actually shows
The email of 19 October 2017 documents that Petra Quick, in private communication with her mother, expressed an extremely negative attitude toward her father and described him as a bad father and grandfather.
These are her own contemporaneous words.
Private correspondence of this kind can be relevant when reconstructing actual family relationships because it was created at the time of the events and was not written as a public statement or as testimony prepared for later legal proceedings.
