No it seems the video is of SW recording grandbabies running in glee to see someone they love. It seems SW did not sense a threat of security or physical risk enabling the care of her grandchildren to her while her and CW went on another getaway. This seems highly normal and zero dysfunction to be noted.

There’s a series on ID Discovery called “American Monster.”

Home videos are juxtaposed with details of a heinous crime, to show how appearances can be deceiving.

The whole point is that videos are not reflective of the truth, and don’t portend danger.

Likewise, looking at a video to determine dysfunction or not, isn’t just flawed thinking, it is flat out impossible.

These videos are proof of nothing.

Was there an assumption that this showed some evidence of dysfunction?

No I believe @Jennifer17 asked if that interaction was special. And I was agreeing no it seems very normal and happy and no dysfunctional seems to me an appropriate comment to relate the normalcy and non threat of this video .

What video?

I wonder about Chris saying how they had "an emotional conversation." In the first news interview, he acted like he barely saw her. By the later interview, he mentioned the "emotional conversation." I think my head keeps going to was if there actually was a conversation and if it was about what he had done to the girls. Or if said any words to her before he killed her. Or if it was just an ambush. The fact that he brought up a "conversation" makes me think that there was some sort of word exchange, although I don't think it had anything to do with divorcing or who was leaving who. He was ready to kill her. But did he voice that or what he did to the girls or not. And what horrible thoughts. How absolutely terrible. And then could stand on the porch the next day preening in his new snazzy t-shirt.

I am implying the relationship imo was healthy enough and safe enough that SW felt secure enough to let the MIL stay with the children alone for an extended period using not only the video but correlating the reason of the trip by SW SM.

Was he born in Colorado or on the east coast? I doubt the 154 lbs too. I have no idea, but that article comes off to me a bit fishy. And @Melsworld

He was born in Oklahoma

But can you please link the video so we can all understand what you're talking about? TIA
MOO

Maybe it was just part of the story he concocted meant to sell the notion that she took the kids and left him. You know, the they just "vanished" version.
MOO

Oh, ok, I was confused about the relevance as well. I saw something about it yesterday and I was unsure how it originated or why it was significant. Just wondered why "no dysfunction" was mentioned, and thought maybe it was suggested otherwise at some point. Anyway I saw it myself a long way back and if I remember it was just a short clip.

He was born in Oklahoma

CW was born in NC.

The one that I saw was only a few seconds, if it's the same one. There was not much to see.

Colorado dad accused of murdering his wife and two daughters thinks that 'no one understands him'

Chris Watts, who is charged with the murder of his pregnant wife and two daughters, is on suicide watch as he awaits trial and feels like "no one understands him," an insider told PEOPLE.

Now Watts, who is sitting in Weld County Jail in Greeley, Colorado, is on "Close Watch Protocol," or suicide watch, 23 hours a day and spends the other hour each day alone in a common room with only a communal newspaper.

CW has had a bad week. First his anger about media coverage of him, and today losing his motion to not turn over his prints and DNA.

Poor guy.

 

[katydid23]

IMO there were several underlying issues SW had that may attributed her to feel threatened by him leaving. Perhaps one of her parents or someone close made her feel insecure and that is why she was OCD and needed control of the little things and her surroundings.

Has she been diagnosed as OCD?

Poor guy.

Yeah, I guess he must not believe those prints will help him at all. I don't think they will either.
MOO

 

[MerryB]

Has she been diagnosed as OCD?

Don’t know, but she repeatedly referred to herself as such on SM.

Hopefully he's got the waaahmbulance on speed dial.

Is it relative to the murders?

 

[MassGuy]

Don’t know, but she repeatedly referred to herself as such on SM.

When people say that they have OCD, they generally aren’t being literal (some obviously are).

It’s an expression commonly used to mean “I like things very orderly.”
