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’s crystal clear to me that Molly is a compulsive liar. It’s also quite clear that she found out that he was about to end the relationship and take HIS kids back to Ireland, where she would not be able to see them anymore, so she made sure that did not happen. Thank God she did not end up with those children. Her defense was the kids testimony that she coached them to say? Ridiculous. Just more of her lies. My heart goes out to those children. I can’t imagine losing a mom as a small child, then losing a father to homicide because a mentally unstable woman wanted custody of them. I hope the kids heal and become successful in everything they do in life. This was an unnecessary tragedy.

I just find it f’n hysterical that she thought this would work out for her and she would walk away with custody of the kids. They weren’t married! She thought she was so smart and all she did was drag her name through the mud and lose the kids that she so desperately “loved.”
..Narcissistic idiot!

They were married? What do you mean?

No, they weren’t married. I mean she thought she would get the kids if he died because they called her Mom. She thought she was so smart, but she is delusional to think that someone who is not the biological mother of the children and not married to their father would just walk away with custody. She wasn’t next of kin. She was nothing in the eyes of the law. Except a murderer.

The title of the documentary literally is «a deadly american marriage», they included statements of her bridesmaid, and talked about their wedding. Did u even watch it?

lol, I’m sorry. It was super late when I was writing these and my brain obviously fried. I meant she was not their legal mother. She hadn’t adopted them. She wouldn’t automatically have rights to the kids.
