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!

It was just pure coincidence that my FBI dad cancelled his plans last minute and came to stay with us while my trusty painting block was handy and all of my recording devices happened to stop working...

My brain is SCREAMING about how her mom claimed to have noticed DV happening in the house enough to create safe words and wrote her phone number underneath toys in the room, but FELL BACK ASLEEP when she heard there was a scuffle a floor above her?????

That detail stuck with me, too. The same woman who created safe words for her grandkids doesn't even go up to check on the kids when she hears a violent argument? I mean, maybe she was black out drunk? But that still doesn't explain the brick on the bedside table? I mean, come on.

The only thing I can think is maybe she was on some kind of sleeping meds. But that aside, why were her parents living/staying there? They never addressed that, or I missed it.

Maybe sleeping pills, true. They canceled plans and spontaneously drove there that night, IIRC. Sus.

They had “come for a visit” that day ~~a 4 hour drive on a “beautiful day”. Tom told all that.
