In regards to the audio snippet 20/20 played to illustrate MM's abuse claims, I say this: Sometimes you become crazy when you deal with crazy. And not that I think JC sounded crazy or that it was abuse, but overall, dealing with Molly couldn't have been easy. Having a bipolar narcissistic mother, I know that sometimes I don't act like *me* when I have to deal with her bc of her issues. And of course we're all human, we all have times when we're not proud of our behavior but it's something about malignant narcissists especially that draws you into their web and makes dealing with them extremely extremely frustrating. IMO
And actually hearing the audio of JC arguing with MM made me realize that he didn't coddle her, she didn't always get her way with him, which had to absolutely infuriate her. She probably wanted control of him & she obviously didn't have it, which led to her insane hatred towards him. IMO
My only take away from the audio clip was that he was trying to say something and she was rudely refusing to communicate - and deliberately recording him after seeming to push his buttons and upset him.
I agree, when I heard the clip it took me back to the last picture of JC alive taken two weeks before his death where he looks sad and broken. It was at the dinner where MM told WC that she wanted JC to allow her to adopt the kids.
If you listen to the actual words in the audio clip rather than the tone I think JC had realised that MM was trying to isolate him from the children. It appears as though he has come home from work to have dinner and they have already eaten and she wants the kids to start making pancakes. He has obviously said before how he would like to eat together, when you are the sole breadwinner, ensuring that you all do things to make sure you are a part of the family is important. From the outside looking in, I would suggest things were escalating quickly, it does not surprise me that the prosecution believed the assertion that JC had had enough and was leaving MM. All the signs are there.
