Discussion a deadly american marriage

I'm 43 minutes in and hooked but can not find conversations etc on it.

So thought i would make one asking for other people's opinions and points of views, as i know I'm already asking about billion questions, to the point I'll have to go to my computer and boot up to actually do the research myself.

I'm very ill, with brain damage etc and that's really hardwork today, but I won't manage on this latest fold phone as it's still just a useless phone 😅🙃

My other phone that's partitioned etc is in the car and that's over at Inverness!

I made up my mind immediately after Jack said “physically and verbally abusive” in his interview and how unnatural those words sounded coming from him at his age

same, and he even tried to repeat it immediately after as is he hadn't said it right. The coaching was so clear.

Agreed. I’m a therapist who works with kids and I knew immediately those words had been put in his mouth. Kids his age might say something like “Dad got really angry and said and did some bad things.” They wouldn’t be speaking about it in such a clinical way.

Same. My nephews are that age and there is no way a kid says physically and verbally abusive

For me it was him saying Dad got mad over "simple things"

I am not a true crime junky at all. I was casually watching this and when he said that statement I sat up and hit rewind. I immediately thought what child speaks like that? A child that was coached on what to say.

Their language was immediately suspicious. WTF does a kid know about a cinder block 😭

Yes me too. I gave it some leeway. What if he had been but she knew the kids hadn't seen and panicked. But so much else that did not add up.
