That doesn't make sense. People smile for a thousand different reasons and body language experts can differentiate between them in the context of the story and the non verbal signs. His smiles seem to me a very obvious way to cope with the surreal nature of the situation, he was smiling throughout, and he's not close to the victim so no surprise there's no grief. And I'm not even an expert, I'm sure they could give you a hundred more clues of innocence. Sure it's not an exact science, but it helps investigators where to focus on until the evidence backs them up.

She wanted her son for herself. I was married to a man whose mother behaved like her son was her husband. Her own husband,my father in law was in depression, unwell and passed away from the emotional neglect he experienced from his wife. It was horrible. I was my husband's second wife. His son from his first marriage , is always used a pawn. The grandson is just a means to an end, the son is the actual person she wants, at any cost. It's twisted and sick but yeah people like this exist.

[@LilyRose_Tiger]

Yes, the blame game 🙄 I can relate somewhat, when I didn't want to go to my dad's house, my dad didn't believe it came from me, instead it was from my mom and grandmother. I don't think he WANTED it to come from me, he didn't want it to sink in that it was his daughter who was unwell being in his home. I've also experienced this through my cousin's whose parents broke up. That was kept on going though and I was actually really worried. I still think that it's good that the abuser can show shame and want to blame others as soon as they get a chance, it shows a weakness that we can benefit from :) So happy he is out of your life!!

5:43 Mom is very smart, she graduated grade 12 "wow she's a regular Einstein"

[@Adara007]

People whose benchmark for intelligence is finishing high school make me concerned. These days most people can easily obtain passes so getting a high school diploma isn't difficult. And University education - whilst being expected for most people so it's loss some of the value it used to have - is still a better indicator of intelligence. The entire family is intellectually deficient. They indicated this in their behaviour after the murder where they went out and used the poor woman's ATM card at an ATM and tried to send the woman's sister a message using her phone and the message was full of spelling errors which wasn't typical of their sister.

[@memylife98]

I feel if just passing 12th grade is small why did the hell I did masters still dont feel very smart 🙏

[@Adara007]

@@memylife98 Similar thoughts here. I think sometimes those of us who have undertaken various degrees and postgraduate studies often will be harsher judges of ourselves than many of those who are like that awful murdering male and his mother who come across as not only the type who look like they've a long history of inter-cousin marriage down the centuries, but they definitely over-estimate their intelligence! They even seem to think they are cunning or have street-smarts but their behaviour indicates they don't even have this and instead are people devoid of morals and any ethics lacking empathy, and most likely not only highly narcissistic but also exhibiting signs of sociopathy - although they would need a professional to assess them in person for a definitive diagnosis of sociopathy which, of course, is nowadays being put under the umbrella term of Antisocial Personality Disorder in the latest DSM. They definitely are over-estimating their alleged intelligence and exhibit barely concealed arrogance. It is somewhat ironic, really, how many people who, like yourself, have obtained their Masters whether by coursework or dissertation and who, often despite various academic achievements, have what you would likely know is called "imposter syndrome", frequently a situation which affects and afflicts often very intelligent individuals who doubt their self-worth and tend to be highly critical of their own abilities which is often in stark contrast to the way others may view them and definitely in contrast to individuals like those murderers in the video above. If you are someone who is doubting your abilities and you've worked hard academically, and obtained one or more postgraduate credentials, try to work on your self-esteem perhaps beginning with a book I personally found very helpful which is a bit old-fashioned but still an excellent book which is a great help for those who find it difficult to set boundaries with others and often doubt their self-worth. This book is titled, "When I Say No, I Feel Guilty". That book was one among many that, in the days before the internet and especially social media was commonplace, and when information about dealing with narcissistic parenting and recovering or healing the damage such parenting did to one' sense of self-worth was not widely available online, unlike these days. I found good techniques and advice in that book, among others.from books focusing solely on self-esteem matters to others involving how to appropriately deal with and express anger (such as a book titled "Feeling The Fire: Experiencing and Expressing Anger Appropriately" by a John Lee, from memory) - an important, often over-looked facet of helping one's self-esteem because unless people learn how to express anger appropriately, it tends to get bottled up, turned inward and into depression, and one's self-esteem suffers as a result. The book about "When I Say No, I Feel Guilty" is somewhat old-fashioned and a bit misogynistic in its assumptions and language at times, but it is nevertheless still a classic and for good reason. It has a list of basic human rights which are helpful in terms of knowing your rights in any relationship, and the author provides examples of assertiveness in various contexts, along with different techniques. And, once someone has learnt these, begun to practise them and, critically, has started to feel comfortable using these different techniques in assertiveness and thereby being able to be politely yet firmly assertive with others, whether pushy salespeople to relatives, and anyone else, for that matter. Once one is able to be comfortably assertive with others, they'll find they're much more likely to have healthier relationships with others and a much better sense of self-worth than before. I hope this is helpful for you. Best wishes, from Australia.
