2024-06-08 22:58:12 +0000 UTC“I’m sorry to everyone I’ve hurt.” I don’t know if I’m buying that sentiment. You always say apologies require true remorse to be sincere. Seems like if he had remorse for “everyone [he’s] hurt” he would have just taken himself out because he identifies he is the problem, he is one causing hurt. To me, killing the kids is just another demonstration of power and control. If he can’t be happy, no one can. If he can’t have his kids without restrictions, no one can and no one will. If he’s going down, his kids are going down with him. He believes he has the right to dictate who lives or dies. It’s horrendous. And Steven… 🤮 The level of disgust and contempt I feel any time Steven opens his mouth makes me wanna puke. He’s one of the most odious and insufferable people I’ve ever heard.

2024-06-08 21:10:40 +0000 UTCThis is one of the "death by a 1000 cuts" situations. Hundreds of small mistakes and hiccups culminating in total disaster. It takes up more real estate in my mind than I'd like, but it's hard not to think about all little things that could have saved Susan and/or the boys.

2024-06-08 18:48:16 +0000 UTCI agree with the court outcome for the DSHS solely because you know he's a murder suspect, you know about the computer stuff so therefor he should have at maximum been awarded visitation but at a secondary location, or had a home check before hand. Like two workers arrive, one goes in before the children and checks over the house, says they just need to make sure it's cosy or they're bringing some activities etc and then the other with the children. I get that child services are so hugely understaffed and underfunded but the safety of the child should always come first. If the parents are a little offended that they have to see their kids at a secondary location for a little while so be it. In the UK we have home visits from midwifes after birth, at set days like day 3 , 7 & 10. When I had my first child the midwife explained that most midwifes or health visitors will ask to use the toilet at people's houses so they can get a better view of your home. Theyll ask what kind of bed youve got for your baby in a warm way like casual chit chat but so they can gather if the child is sleeping salfely. That's a really easy way of checking on safety without it feeling invasive to the parent. The entire investigation of surrounding Josh seemed to be him constantly being tip toed around.

2024-06-08 18:19:11 +0000 UTCWatching Steven treat Chuck that way outside the supermarket really made me feel anger on behalf of Chuck, I so wanted to protect him. How utterly infuriating that someone is trying to stop you from looking for YOUR child 🥺 and getting in his face. People like Steven appear to have no opportunity in life to self reflect. I wonder if he ever felt regret 🤔

2024-06-08 17:49:20 +0000 UTCThis case has been on my mind since the very outset. Every time I go camping I can’t help but think of Susan and where she may be. I wonder if he may have put her body in Lake Powell due to his narcissistic tendencies as well as proximity.

2024-06-07 23:27:32 +0000 UTCI wonder if Josh assumed the images were from his father, but knew he wasn't going to be able to prove they weren't his.

2024-06-07 22:08:34 +0000 UTCThis case has been on my mind a lot. I’m tearing up. It makes me deeply uncomfortable but I’ve been obsessing over it because of the similarity with my family. We never reached the monstrosity described here , but my grandfather was definitely narcissistic and used to talk like Stephen, my jaw dropped when I saw his clips. Us kids were subject to his delusional rules and ideas all the time when we visited, because every adult was terrified to even think about contradicting him. Always had to be the centre of attention otherwise it would be pain for everyone else. He used to be violent with his children and wife. My uncle died in his house, he never got out of there and developed bipolar, depression, addiction binge eating disorder. But was never taken to treatment until too late because my grandad was ashamed of it. My grandfather was violent towards him till the last day of his life. If my dad had not got out of that house, he would’ve ended up the same way, I’m 100% sure. He made other children of his deeply sick; eating disorders, narcissism, borderline, depression, PTSD. My dad is the only one that could be considered normal, but is extremely passive and fearful of conflict. A people pleaser to the point of sacrificing and hurting himself. I always felt the extreme need to be protective of him, since I have memory. Grandfather died not long ago, suddenly like Stephen, and similarly to Josh, my dad helped him, took care of him, psychologically depended from him and desperately searched his love and approval, even at the age of 65. It’s really hard for anyone to grasp the gravity of the abuse dad suffered, because to this day, when he talks about my grandfather, all the stories of hurt end with “but he loved me so much”. Still today, dad cannot see what an absolute monster he was. His death caused him an immense pain that he hasn’t recovered from yet. Not mentioning his brother, that like I said died not long before my grandfather. A long history of abuse and mental health troubles that goes back to my great grandfather, and arrives to me, although I can say I was never a victim of abuse from my parents. But the pain and hurt that they and my whole family carry definitely got its way to me and lead me to a pain so deep that after 12 years of anorexia I almost didn’t make it. But I had the help of my parents and doctors like yourself, and that is the only reason I’m still alive and (now) well. Which is why today I am working to become a counsellor. Awesome episode like usual, subscribed to Patreon not long ago but I’ve been following you for ages, you helped me so so much. I cannot say thank you enough.
