In many ways, I'm happy that DM represents himself because it gives everyone, especially the jury, a much more precise idea of who he is. On the contrary, it makes me sick that he was questionin LB's father in court. No father should have to be questioned by their child's accused killer.
I don't stop thinking about this case; Laura, her family, how I loathe DM, my lack of respect for CN. I don't think about MS much, to be honest, but I think he's equally guilty for being so willing and eager to follow DM. He was DM's puppy; he would have done anything without questioning it.
I mentioned in another thread that the relationship between LB and DM really resonates with the one I had with my ex. I struggle with mental health as well; not to the extent of Laura, from what I've gathered, but I know how horrible it is. I know what it's like to be so entranced with someone, that deep down, you know is bad. My ex wasn't nearly as deplorable as DM, not even close, but he didn't care about me like I cared about him. I now have a stable partner whom I love and loves me; a healthy relationship with him, taking care of myself, and away from the toxicity of negative people. I so, so wish Laura could have had that same opportunity because it's such a beautiful journey. To really move on from that person (hers being DM) and find your strength. Hoping that justice is served - although the real justice should have been Laura's life flourishing and continuing on this day.
