I know some here believe the accused to show narcissistic traits, but as the daughter of a diagnosed NPD, I don’t see anything so far that’s particularly indicative of this.
The communication in messages etc all seems pretty normal and domestic. I imagine similar messages are exchanged amongst families all the time and nobody gets killed.
It’s tempting to ascribe a pathology to help us understand the accused but so far I’m just not seeing it. Not every killer has a personality disorder or a diagnosable cause. I think it’s entirely possible that she really was a good mother, a committed community member, a good friend, and also a murderer.
This would align with what the prosecution have already said about not be putting forward a motive.
I wonder if she received a psych evaluation, and if we will hear about that in due course.
Not all narcissists present in the same way. And they can have a combination of different narcissistic traits.

" I think it’s entirely possible that she really was a good mother, a committed community member, a good friend, and also a murderer."
The only things I have seen is that she was a devoted mother (not a good one if she killed her children's paternal grandparents) and allegedly a murderer.
