I'm reminded of what Lacy Peterson's mother said to Scott:
So the gist was, more accurately, that HE SAID that. The gist wasn't that that was a fact. Earlier, before his family had a chance to tell him what he thought, he told the FBI/CBI that Shahann never belittled him, and that he himself joined in her videos to help sell in her home business. Also, his co-worker Brown told CBI that Chris Watts constantly tried to sell Thrive to him, while both were on the job. Ie being paid by Anadarko, Watts was pushing a sales product. On company time. Brown finally had to tell Watts to knock it off, that he wasn't interested in Chris Watts' product sales.So the gist is, Shanann was a "control freak" + she spent too much time doing the MLM Thrive stuff, it was very demanding of her time and attention.
"Nikki was everything my wife wasn't"
Now, I'm not a NK hater like I know a lot of people are. But based on her interviews, she herself is a rather controlling personality. She was monitoring his weight and food intake. She knew almost everything about his finances. She was trying help him find an apartment. And so on. Had Chris left SW and settled down with NK he'd probably have grown to hate her, too, in time.
It's so sad. This article takes me back to reading the discovery files years ago. Shanann begged coward Chris for weeks to just tell her what was wrong, and he wouldn't. Shanann struggled to figure it out for herself, and right before her death she told one friend that she knows she has "control issues" and wants to work on it. And she told another friend (Thrive friend) that she really needed to dial it back and spend more time with her family. Despite CW's stonewalling, she intuited why Chris might be dissatisfied with the marriage and was determined to work on herself and please him.
Of course, Chris was already cheating by that time. But my point is, all Chris had to do was tell Shanann what he wanted and why he was unhappy, and I think she would've been amenable to change and compromise. Her texts in the discovery are proof of that. But CW was too much of a coward to tell her anything, because if he'd complained, he'd no longer be the perfect husband, the perfect nice guy. It was easier for Chris to say nothing, and kill them all. He's such a broken person.
Some clarity but a long way from taking personal responsibility. I agree with what he wrote about Kessinger but he made the decision to get involved with her and kill his family to be with her. I do believe she gave the ultimatum. She reeks wickedness.
What an *** he is. Unrehabilitatible. Jmo
