I am new and was only approved a day or so ago - but I have followed this thread with interest and horror, as it so similar to the end my own marriage (except clearly my ex didn't murder me, however, he did strangle me when I confronted him with his adultery, but I'm lucky, he stopped). Anyway, the Watts's family behavior over the last few days has only compounded the similarities - their denials are so similar to my in-laws and their fantastical denials around their son's behavior towards me and our little girls...
Anyway, I didn't come on here to talk about me, I just wanted to say that I believe NK. (and I'm not predisposed to supporting the 'mistress' since my ex-husband was cheating on me when I too was pregnant with my 3rd baby...). BUT it is hard to explain how GOOD people like CW are at lies. It is hard to explain how believable they are and how you can be duped. Even though the lies are absurd in hindsight, at the time, it all makes sense because these personality types are the best actors the world has ever seen (Oscar winning). Also, these personality types (CW) are like psychologists because they spot the weak point in their victims (NK, SW or me ) and they tailor their lies and their emotions to exploit their victim. She'll have believed him until the end and he'll have hit all the right buttons for her. Poor girl.
And of course poor, poor Shannan, Bella, Celeste and Nico. My heart breaks for them all and for their family and friends.
Finally, I can't find the post, but someone said on here way way back in one of the first threads that the porch interviews were all about the AP. Such a good spot so early on.
I'll keep looking for that post.
