This is spot on. I honestly believe that is how she would and does feel already to some extent. He's a victim. He's incapable of thinking for himself, so when Shanann took him away and did his thinking for him, she did it "wrong" unlike Mama who did all of his thinking for him "right".
I 100% believe she's been waiting for a trial, and I think she expected to have Chris provide his whack



letter and his sob story about how badly Shanann abused him, and probably expected to testify herself about how horrible and dangerous and disrespectful Shanann was.
The jury and judge would have a massive revelation that Chris was a sainted man and sainted father, a poor abused husband who had to strangle his wife for harming his children. Sympathy, tears, maybe a voluntary manslaughter charge or something, a minimal sentence - say 10 years and he's out in 5 for good behavior. Who cares if Shanann's dead? She was evil. Who cares if the children including unborn Nico are dead? They were half Shanann anyway. Chris could be at the Christmas table with a new perfectly chosen by mama wife inside of a decade and this vile mess could just be swept under the rug.
I think the reality of the situation and the consequences for his actions are so shocking she can't comprehend them. At all.
The VI posts by this member are fascinating in retrospect. They're in around threads 20 through 26, if the memory of my insomnia activities one night are correct. I highly recommend that everyone re-read them in the down time before Monday.
