All my single mom friends have tons of pictures with their girls and any time a bf acts up, they realize that if they take that kind of behavior then their daughter thinks that’s ok to be treated like that so they leave that relationship.
To me, a fiercely protective mom, as her friends say she is, is involved in her kids lives. Not tons of pics out with her friends and bf (don’t get me wrong some nights out away from children is definitely needed). And I’m more talking about the pics she is tagged in rather than the ones she posted because to me those are the ones that she didn’t untag herself for whatever reason and the ones that are being tagged now are how her friends remember her.
So if I can’t believe her friends saying she was this amazing mother putting her kids first then I can’t believe them when they she would NEVER do this.
RSBM for focus
Please know, Rose787, that the following is only a general observation, and is not directed at you.
Despite the sheriff’s statement, ‘I think there'd been an argument at the very least,’ NC and CW’s friends reportedly telling investigators theirs was 'not the happiest of relationships,’ and Alexa’s dad telling a reporter, ‘The home she was living in, we just feel it wasn't a great place for our children to have been loved,’ I don’t believe it has been confirmed that CW treated NO poorly.
I’m aware of NO’s arrest in 2014 on a charge of assault bodily injury for allegedly striking a man with her hand, I but don’t believe it has been confirmed that she was physically abusive towards CW or vice versa.
Not knowing NO personally, I don’t know whether or not to believe her friends when they say she was a fiercely protective and/or an amazing mother.
I think it’s entirely possible that NO was a great mom, who, at the same time, preferred to post (or didn’t mind being tagged in) pictures showing her having fun with friends. SM doesn’t always tell the full story or portray an accurate sense of reality, IMO.
Likewise, it is absolutely possible, IMO, that NO was a wonderful mom, who also murdered her own children.
I do wonder if NO had a history of mental illness, including homicidal and/or suicidal ideation. If she did, that alone does not make her a bad parent or a person, IMO, although in that instance, as a parent, the responsible thing to do would be to separate oneself from the children. Even if she had never exhibited symptoms of mental disorder, she could have experienced an acute psychiatric crisis, IMO.
It’s also possible, IMO, that NO wasn’t such an amazing mother after all. Had she abused any of her children in the past? Was she addicted to alcohol or drugs? Did she and CW fight often, and if so, in front of the girls?
Either way, if any of the above applies to NO, I trust that eventually (hopefully sooner rather than later), LE will uncover corroborating evidence, whether it’s by reviewing medical records, finding out if the family was ever subjected to a CPS investigation, interviewing co-workers, friends or whatever other means.
If the ME’s findings are affirmed by forensic evidence, and if it shows it was indeed Nichol who murdered the girls, I do think that some of the family members and friends will have a very difficult time accepting it. Right now, they are in complete and utterly in shock, as anyone in their situation would be, IMO. But with evidence, I do believe that over time, most or perhaps even all of them will come to accept it, IMO.
As to the possibility that NO and the girls were all murdered, if that is what happened, with the FBI now involved especially, I am confident they will find supporting evidence.
Right now, I just don’t know enough to lean one way or the other.
