from Scott Reisch video "Chris Watts IQ And His Family" Oct 8, 2019Yes, I get that, but the author didn't interview his mother IIRC, so this is just based on CW's account. SBM
00:49 Author Cadle: "however Cindy Watts contacted me, after the 1st or 2nd letter I wrote to Christopher, until I had wrote him back, to let me know that Christopher really wanted her to know that he would like to see me, that he would like to send me the form to come see him and that he was interested in me writing his story. So I've never met Cindy or Ronnie, but I've talked to them on the phone, and, um, as we went through that period of time when I was outlining the book and putting things together ....when Cindy and her daughter, mainly, saw that they could not control the narrative, I was pretty much dumped by them, and that's ok, because they were not going to control the narrative of this book. I wanted the truth and the facts to be out."

Chris Watts claims obsession with mistress led to him murdering family | Daily Mail Online
"The Watts family helped her in the beginning by sharing stories and photos but she began to question their motives.
'It turned into more of a Shanann bashing because Cindy does not believe that Christopher killed his daughters,' Cadle said. 'She believes that Cece and Bella were killed by Shanann. Their entire motive has been to clear their son's name. I understand it would be very hard to admit that your son could do anything so awful.
'In the beginning, I felt it was out of their pain but it didn't take long to see that they were trying to push the narrative of the book. When I wouldn't write what they wanted me to write, his mother became very angry with me.'
The more that the author has learned about Watts' upbringing, the more unsettled she became.
Cindy [Watts] told me that she always wanted to know his thoughts, that she would question Christopher all the time, what's on your mind? What are you thinking about? She would insist that he told her. 'Cindy also felt like he loved his father more than he loved her and that bothered her.'
