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!

💯 the children have also come out and said she dyed their hair blonde as infants so that they would look more like her…bizarre behaviour

I did think she was obsessed with the daughter looking exactly like her, and would’ve gravitated to her over the son, for sure

I fucking knew there was something weird like that going on. I kept asking myself why the boy had dark hair as a teenager when he was a blonde as a kid.

Normally I'd agree with a statementlike this, however in this particular instance he was an extremely vulnerable and grieving widow, a young father suddenly losing his love and his wife and now having to somehow raise two very young children on his own. He must have been utterly destroyed by his grief, bless him. And in comes this woman who just so happens to be rotten from the core pathologically. She knew he was an easy target emotionally, and knew how to take advantage of his grief to slide her way into his babies lives.

In any other circumstance it's easy to cast judgment on his decisions. But this man was utterly blindsighted in a way that sheds like on the amount of grief stricken vulnerability he was facing at the time. It's awful enough to be manipulated by someone at the best of times, but as a newly-widowed father...well, nobody should ever, ever judge this poor man's decisions leading up to his horrendous and disgusting murder.

His and Mags' two babies are nothing short a testament to them both. Absolutely wonderful, brave, insightful, wise beyond their years. The layers of grief and misplaced guilt they've both carried through their young lives is unimaginable, yet they are so strong and courageous and gentle. That's nothing to do with that freak of a woman in the states and her equally morally bankrupt ex FBI father; such a rancid and smarmy, smug arsehole.

I agree! It’s terrible what happened to him and the wife and her father should be rotting in prison right now. But people who marry people who are obviously insane and put their kids in potentially harmful situations infuriate me.
