OBVIOUSLY it’s not Shanann’s fault what happened but as I was watching I noticed some oddly controlling behaviors on her end and a tendency to dramatize situations. The documentary didn‘t suggest this but based on certain texts and scenarios, I picked up on it. It reminded me of myself in some of my younger relationships (not in a good way) and how crazy I could get. I figured Shannann must be a Capricorn like myself so I just looked up her birthday and it’s the exact same day as mine.
Putting your astroillogical sign into the equation negates your point, but I see what you mean.
OP- eh, I'm not really into astrology but it's kind of a bar trick that I have; I can guess almost anybody's sign after a single conversation. In grad school, I once guessed 13 strangers in a row correctly. So I do think the personality traits/general vibe that somebody puts out are decipherable. I was surprised to recognize some of my own negative qualities in Shannann and though I guessed she would be Capricorn (second guess-virgo) I was shocked it was the exact same birthday. I can see where she and I could be dangerously manipulative in subtle ways that really put partners over the edge. When combined with the latent evil the husband had in him, it was disastrous. Obviously, his character flaws are to blame for the tragedy that took place. How he could do that to his own children is unfathomable.
A friend of mine sadly lost her two DCs at the hands of their father. It was completely premeditated and he had been working on it for weeks
His biological kids!? Why?
@Anonymous Sadly yes, two beautiful teenagers. He was angry with my friend when she filed for divorce. He shot them in their sleep
OP- That's so horrible. Strength to your friend.
He reminds me so, so, so much of my psychopathic ex. On the outside, people would believe I was too controlling because they didn't see that behind close doors he was doing absolutely nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to build our life or function as a healthy couple. To me, he was like a robot i, only powering on when he was forced to. When he powered on, he was sooooo charming. I was the one prioritizing buying a home, making sure finances were in order, planning trips, etc. Then when people would see me asking/telling him to please do or not do something, they'd say, "Oh, we see who's the boss here!" It's scary because I used to wonder, "Whoa, is it me?"
They had no idea that I was breathing for two. I was so stressed, I thought I was crazy, and people thought I was the tough, pushy one, the bitch. It later turned out he was living a completely separate existence with someone else, ultimately doing something extremely toxic and awful. My friends have actually apologized to me, saying that they didn't realize what was going on, and they see they were fooled. They felt bad, but I understood how he fooled them. Lesson learned for me. I had such low self esteem,
A psychopath's greatest success is getting everyone to believe he was innocent or the "other person was wrong, too!" The very fact that he killed his beautiful little girls even as they said "Daddy, no!" tells you that it was ALL him. He planned it for a long time. He didn't snap. He is a psychopath.
@anonymous This is exactly what he did - he tried to convince the police that Shanann was the one who killed the girls. So she was “wrong too“! Just like you said. He made it sound as if it was unplanned, during an argument. But I don’t believe it. I am sure it was planned. He wanted to get rid of the family to be with his new love interest.
@Anonymous it’s clear that he killed her while she was sleeping. The fact that he drove the girls for an hour and didnt change his mind before killing them is alarming. Then he called the school to say they wouldnt be coming back. Awful
@Anonymous so the day they went missing/were killed, he called the school to disenroll them, and called a realtor to put the house on the market. This was preplanned and he couldn’t wait to get on with his new life.
