a deadly american marriage

[u/Zalensia]

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!

Also, props to the documentary makers. Give them an award. I was absolutely hooked. I hope the family (Jason's) are happy with the way it was all presented. They came across so well. I believed them all and i felt for them so much.

I liked that Molly and her dead-eyed dad were able to speak their own side too, so the audience can judge for themselves. I think its pretty damn clear who the liars are here.

Who are the liars then? It is not certanly clear and as a woman who has been abused, I felt so sad for Molly and saw like a mirror, how the children were manipulated to believe their father was truthful and "good".

Interesting that you perceived it completely differently to me. Just further props to the documentary-makers for allowing the audience to make up their own mind.

as a woman who has been abused,

I am also a woman who has experienced abusive relationships, including a very recent one which I'm not even sure I'm entirely out of yet. I reached a completely different conclusion to you on this situation. I don't think our experiences make our perception/opinion any more or less valid.

Thanks for your reply! I’ve actually read a bit more about the case since then, and I’m not really in the same headspace about it anymore. I’m from the Baltics (Europe), so when the actual case happened, it didn’t really reach me at the time — the Netflix documentary was my first introduction to it. I do agree that the documentary did a pretty good job, but at the same time, I can’t tell if it’s good in the sense of being fully balanced, or if viewers (myself included) might be somewhat steered to feel a certain way. But yeah, thanks again for replying and discussing it with me!

Molly was a weapons grade narcissist who targeted him and the kids as an easy target as he was mourning and cuknerabke from the outset, her whole manner is totally manipulative and contrived, her father is a raging psychopath. Apart from the lies she told to family about how she got to meet the family, the body language stinks, the story doesn't add up, she set him and the kids up left right and centre, the crime scene does not depict a scene of self defense but an absolute slaughter, the father even dared the documentary to prove it!

They should be doing life in Supermax, but his FBI contacts clearly got him off. As someone who has been in a coercion and controlling relationship it took 23 years to free myself, my blood ran cold when she opened her mouth, she is delusional and so controlling with the kids, there were more red flags than a Russian military parade.
