It's a while since I read his book, but my initial reaction after reading it was how I felt there were so many similarities in Keith's & Jason's experiences with MM, like she had a pattern. She met Keith online (she also met Jason online) a month after dating she asked Keith to move in with her. He thought she was sweet, a free spirit. She only told him of her bipolar/mania after he moved in. How long before she "moved in" on Jason I don't know. She only told Jason about her conditions as they moved to America. Keith was getting over a long term relationship where his girlfriend of 6 years suddenly left him. He too was grieving, a vulnerable man like Jason was. Keith said things changed very quickly & her depression took over. She had this all her life & insomnia too. Keith said MM would curl up in a ball & rock herself, not get out of bed all day. She told lots of lies. I have heard in NC she also stayed in bed a lot of the time, refusing to get up. And we know she lied a lot to neighbours re being Sarah's birth mother too. Keith said he never knew which Molly would be there when he got home. They had explosive arguments. With Jason, there are witness accounts to how volatile MM was in front of family & her treatment of Jack. Hostess one minute, dishing out punishment the next. Keith spoke of how he had to talk her out of suicide on multiple occasions. IMO if Jason tried to leave her she would use suicide as a threat. She was very controlling & insisted Keith got engaged to her to prove his love for her. MM insisted Jason got engaged to her to prove his love & show she was more then the au pair. She got pregnant with Keith's baby, even though she swore to him she was using contraceptives. He said she felt having children would "fix" her, make her happy, that's all she wanted. She had a miscarriage, Keith was relieved as she was so heavily medicated and felt neither were ready to be parents. They could not look after themselves. If children was all she wanted, then Jason was the perfect package with a toddler & a baby. Keith was a vulnerable man also, but he put her first. She isolated him by insisting he didn't tell any of his family & friends about her problems which led him to a nervous breakdown. MM insisted she would be happier in America, thus isolating Jason & his kids from his family & friends. Like with Keith she was happy for awhile, until she wasn't. Keith and Jason's paths blur about 3 weeks after MM left the psychiatric unit of which she was an inpatient. She told Keith she wanted to move to Ireland. He said we have no money, we can't just leave. She left without him, said she would be gone for a week or two. She didn't contact him for 3 weeks and broke off their engagement via email. So begs the question did her parents fund her trip? Maybe Jason did? we know he funded the holidays, cruises etc SM & TM took with them. We know he had a generous nature. Or did TM & SM finally want MM out of their hair, maybe they found her an embarrassment, maybe they wanted to "fix" things for her. Either way they left their unstable daughter travel to another continent to care for two babies. After Keith Maginns encounter with Molly Paige Martens he was left a broken man. After Jason Corbett's encounter with Molly Paige Martens he was left dead. The question is, did her parents "fix" this too.
