They also don’t mention that Shannan was narcissistic and how she would mentally abuse Chris. Don’t t get me wrong, I’m not trying to justify he’s actions. I still think what Chris did is horrific and could have been avoided. I simply think it’s wrong for them to have twisted the story as Shannan actions shouldn’t be disregarded because it’s a key component to what spark this entire ordeal. Not to mention that mental abuse toward men is often ignored and if the story wouldn’t have been twisted it can be used as a great learning experience for other couples going through the same thing.

@The Amazing Grace None of their financial problems were solely because of Shannan. Chris agreed to all the debt and was making a lot of irresponsible financial decisions, that he couldn't blame on Shannan. He wasn't an innocent victim, that narrative essentially blames Shannan for her own murder. Did their financial problems cause him to suffocate two innocent little girls, their DAUGHTERS and also cause the death of their unborn son, when Shannan miscarried, after she was murdered? Chris was making DECISIONS, including asking Shannan to have another baby, because he wanted a boy. "Money trouble" might have been a factor but it's also FACT that women are twice as likely to be murdered when they're pregnant. Chris wasn't "trapped." He could have declared bankruptcy again and him and NK could have used her credit to get an apartment. Yes; he would have had to rebuild his credit, pay child support and maybe alimony but so do millions of other men and women, after a divorce. There's NOTHING that excuses him for MURDERING his family, that was a CHOICE on his part, just like all his other choices that came before!

After watching a 45-min. video about what Shan'anns mom wrote to the police about how HIS mom acted, I think he had a Mom- Rage problem. I'm a paramedic. The fact that his mom left nuts out when she KNEW the kids were allergic to nuts (and anaphylaxis is nothing to play around with) makes her inSANE and that's a professional opinion. MOST adults of average intelligence know not to leave the allergen where the victim can come into contact with it. I lost any sympathy for his mom the second I heard that. Anaphylaxis (aka angioedema) is what paramedics call "a true emergency," meaning that if you don't get emergency medical intervention within half an hour (or 15 mins in the case of extreme allergies) the person will die. What the hell kind of person would TRY to make that happen by leaving bowls of nuts around the house, much less a supposed "grandmother" of the potential patient?

Great opinion...I had the same thoughts. CW's mother had/has serious issues, and we know she used passive aggression against her grandchildren. In my experience such women also abuse husbands and dominate and control their sons. CW's relationship with his parents seemed odd at best... "unconditional permissiveness" ...maybe...but, the father shows signs of emasculation and these factors might have led in CW to a false concept of an invulnerable, invincible self. If a child has committed murder, helpless commiseration with that child like Chris's father did is not normal. A normal parent would have been outraged, shocked and demanding answers. Shannan was also not like CW's mother, and his rage might have been augmented or generated by that fact...i.e., he interpreted SW's drive for independence and financial success as a threat simply because it varied so wildly from the model of his mother...add to that the desire to be with the mistress, conflicting feelings of loss of control...and the debt...and SW's endless gushing over the children...and yes rage...well, it's quite a mix. His newly discovered religiosity in prison was predictable. I suspect more will come out about this case in the future.

His mother and her flying monkeys (family) did their best to damage and end the marriage. Cindy Watts comes across as extremely narcissistic and after the sentencing she's given an interview where she reveals utter contempt for and bitterness at Shan'ann and she says she believes her son's initial statement - the one he ran with when Tammy of CBI suggested it, as part of getting Chris to the truth - that Shan'ann killed her girls! Cindy Watts also never denies her involvement in leaving nuts around deliberately nor other nasty behaviours towards Shan'ann. Whilst Chris Watts is responsible for his actions it's very likely growing up with parents like his and their and his sisters deliberate interference in his marriage and even in the Rzuceks coming to see their daughter and grandchildren helped create the perfect storm for Chris Watts to be an angry covert narcissistic sociopath willing to kill.

Two, the D.A may of waved the death penalty due to his apparent confession and cooperation with police combined with the family's request. And three, no matter how many "privileges" he may enjoy in prison, his life is going to be hell. The other inmates traditionally are violent to child killers.

I think so. I knew someone like Watts. He was very quiet laid back and friendly but a complete door mat. We had been friends since we were kids. He got married super young at 21 to a girl that was like 4 years older or so. Eventually he realized he wasn't happy, he'd text me all the time because he had a thing for me. I told him if you aren't happy you need to separate and divorce then maybe we can date. That never happened! He didn't have the balls. So eventually they had a kid. A few months after the baby came he cheated on his wife and she found out. Then they finally got divorced. So instead of being up front and ending it he had a child with her then cheated on her to force her to leave him! She was a really sweet girl too, a good woman. He just wasn't in love with her anymore. He had no ball's, complete door mat. That's exactly what Watts was like but obviously he actually killed his family!

In his sick, selfish mind, he wanted to erase them, make them disappear like a do-over, like it never happened. He wanted to turn back the clock to start over before the marriage. He still doesn't see anything wrong with what he did cause he thinks he deserved happiness and freedom. That is the definition of premeditation.

@@amandaj.barnes5919 Nico wasn’t a shock. Chris himself said they were trying to have a boy - because he himself wanted one. He said they literally used a fertility app to determine exactly when SW was ovulating, so they knew exactly when to try. He said he was surprised it happened so quickly, but it can’t be a shock that your wife gets pregnant, when you’re actively trying to get her pregnant. Chris just didn’t plan on him and Nk when they started trying for Nico. Unfortunately for them all, between the time that they were trying, and SW found out she was actually pregnant - he got involved with NK. Even their friend Lauren Arnold said that when she told them she was pregnant, SW said jokingly not to tell Chris, because he wanted another one and he would be telling SW they should try. So when he found out about Lauren being pregnant a few minutes later, he told SW now they needed to try also. That was right in front of Lauren, but of course shorty before he met Nk. He was all about his family - just like SW said, right up until he met Nk. He wasn’t worried about money or anything else. He said himself that he didn’t deal with the finances anyway. Everything was fine until he got a mistress. And that’s exactly why it was such a shock to SW that he changed so quickly and so dramatically. And in all of her texts with friends about what could possibly be wrong with Chris, money was never mentioned - because Chris never said a word about money before or after the problems started. It was all about the baby, and him not being able to tell Nk that SW was pregnant.

It's possible that he felt his wife was demanding, but he already was in the process of leaving her. Why go as far as killing her and then killing his two own daughters? I think he just did that because he wanted to be with NK and he must've known this before he actually killed them.

Excellent explanation about anger. I feel like that. I learned to acknowledge my anger, because the cause for it is most of the time justified, I had no problem to controll it. Lately I can use my anger to gain energy for myself to do chores and I can express anger if the person, who causes it, for example invaded my personal space. It helps, that I do not fly in a full rage or in deep agression, but can do a little bit of "acting" - just to show my limit - so that this person takes care and takes it serious. Kind of like holding up a sign to tell this other human being "Hey you did wrong here - do not mess with me - I will not accept your behaviour..." and most of the time I am not deeply angry inside, therefore "acting", I learned to react before I allow a person to really bother me in a profund way. Of course most of the time no "anger acting" is necessary, most people react to a normal appeal. I think Chris Watts did something so utterly "abnormal" and so utterly without the will to solve his "problem", that most of the people can not fantom how he allowed himself to get there and why he did something so irrational and cruel. He could have asked for help, he could have gotten a divorce. Maybe the financial aspect played a role. Very cold hearted.

Thank you Dr Grande I got a lot out of that , your explanation of anger vs aggressiveness was very helpful to me. The Chris Watts case is very interesting to me and I’d love it if you might consider looking at the case from this angle. I’ve noticed as a lot of other people have, especially in the beginning of this case that a lot of blame was put on the females around Chris Watts as the real causes of his behaviour. That his crime was their fault essentially. There was criticism of Shanann, Nicole and his mother too. I heard a lot of spite and hatred about his wife in a way I haven’t heard women talked about in crime since the 1970s. Why is this? Why was it focussed on so much in this case? Has it always been there? Did this case highlight it? Why? Why are people talking about the women around Chris Watts as these almost “ mysterious evil Entities “ that somehow drove him to it? That’s what perplexes me anyway. Thank you.

Dr Grande, I was curious about Shanann. The videos I watched make me wonder if she was the more active, energetic, and assertive one in their marriage. I don’t know. I wonder too if Chris had things he wanted to do in life and didn’t speak out? My thoughts are bc all the activities, the costumes Chris wore (Santa, Mickey Mouse & more) for pictures, the matching clothes, the videos he was seen in for her business career, the big home, the vacations, the finances etc. I heard Chris’s mother say on KZfaq that Chris bought Shannan a $12,000 wedding ring. They had children soon after marriage, they were both so young. Not an excuse for the horrific murders. Could that be the rage that had built up for Chris?

I just do not see any rage coming from Watts. He said he felt rage to his dad upon confessing to Shanann's murder after he said she killed the girls. He lied so many times and I find it hard to believe he was in a rage. He knew that he wanted Nichole Kessinger and knew he would not be able to afford any divorce from Shanann and pay any alimony and child support. He needed them out of the way. His distancing himself from Shanann when they were both in North Carolina and him sending the photo of that doll covered up; to me were signs of premeditation. He didn't foresee his family being around so that he could totally devote his life to Nichole Kessinger. I believe he had a more controlled explanation of his wife and daughters went missing like getting rid of any evidence like her purse and cell phone as well as the children's medication, but Nicole Atkinson ruined his plan by getting involved and calling the police immediately.

They were premeditated with Chris Watts, in my humble opinion. He is impulsive in the sense that wanted a commitment with the mistress, as in NOW, and wanted out of the marriage without burden of children and without debt. He had only been dating this woman for maybe two months. He has internal rage but he directs it against anything or anyone who keeps him from what he wants NOW. You can see moments of controlled anger throughout his FBI interviews. But imo he most likely had obsessive, unrealistic poorly thought out fantasies about his future, and a compulsion to kill his family that he seems to have ruminated on for a period of weeks, fueled imo , by his family of origin's delusional hatred and abusive behaviour toward his wife and children. His father said that Shan put a dagger between he and Chris, pretty strong emotional blackmail, imo. His parents forced him to choose at a time that his mistress also wanted him to choose. Was he dependent or irresponsible and parasitic? There are several examples he was the latter and that Shan could not trust him, which is why she handled the money payments. He lied a great deal about Shanann, he has no credibility there imo. His father may have been the same. CW said his dad used family budget money to buy cocaine. Chris held his own in that marriage imo. He had a job, good money, a promotion even. Shan was not leaving him, so it was not a desperate need to replace a dependent relationship with another one. Shan was willing to work on the marriage, he was not. She made good money, so did he, they could have found a way to solve the debt problem. He might have feared losing NK if he did not get rid of his burden. I see this not as a rage killing, but methodical, planned , by a man who has clear psychopatic traits. I think his parents were more influential on his state of mind than has been explored. At the same time he though nothing of lying to them, he admitted this , because he knew they would believe his lies about Shanon. This guy impresess me as a psychopath, but of course this remains only an educated guess.

@@larryoxentine8310 Thank.you. I think his parents influenced his frame of mind, their hatred of Shan was magnified out of proportion and the never failed to show it, in I think pathological , abusive ways. I also think he has personality traits similar to his dad. So I think Chris has some genetic predisposition as well as social learning features to his psychology and personality. Family dynamics are very significant to shaping a person's psyche. But regardless of that, most adults can make their own decisions with their own agency. He knew what he was doing, and it was premeditated. There was apparently no explicit planning with anyone else. . This is on him and he can blame no one else but himself. BUT THIS IS JUST SPECULATION WITHOUT ALL THE BACKSTORY, ONLY AN EDUCATED GUESS. And I really hope his family of origin gets professional help. It is such a shock, such a trauma. I do empathize.

It's telling that Chris married a woman who was very much like his mother in one significant way. Both were dominant personalities while Chris is a passive person. In addition, their on-going feud put Chris in the position of having to attempt the take both sides - an impossible situation causing him considerable stress. Add to the mix a mistress who could be for him a way out of the problem. It was a perfect storm.

The extreme decision to premeditate the (first, unsuccessful)killing of his two daughters in ADVANCE of his successful murder of his wife,.. then smothering them and drowning them in oil, as a second attempt at smothering, doesn't add up with any impulsivity or rage patterns. He just seemed determined not to be held back by having a family, from returning to a single lifestyle as if he'd never been married and had never had children. Extreme entitlement? Maybe just that.

I’ve been diving into this one. I know I’m late. Before I start, I am usually not a fan of assigning any blame to victim. And I am horrified by Watts’ actions. I think enough could be said on that by all. With that said, I was kinda upset at the behavior of Shannan toward Chris before all of this went down (though does not justify murder of course). At times she does seem to belittle him and seems to relish in it by talking with her friends. She would constantly post about her family. Everybody seem to be around for her benefit to look at the Facebook posts. She isolated him from any support system like his parents. And by her own admission she was the dominant personality. You also see friends describe her as “dominant but she is just trying to help him succeed.” Watts had no such friends. Watts parents would talk about how she would constantly criticize him in front of parents. In other words, I feel she displayed traits that could interpreted as narcissistic of the adaptive type. After hearing a few interviews from Watts, I think you are on the money for dependency. I feel what we had here was a narcissist/codependent relationship. I think occasionally as the codependent grows, they start to pull away from the narcissist. But the narcissist will cajole and use various tactics to exert control. Male co-dependents I think deal with societal stigma and told to man up. She said this to him on many texts. I think these pressures contributed to the snap. Again however, Chris Watts is responsible for the murders. Especially when we start talking about his daughters. I feel codependency has something to do with that to. Shannan was domineering to everyone, but she was the lynchpin of the family. Watts was not capable (or at least he felt) of raising kids without having another person to be dependent on. Jmo

His excuse that he killed his wife, enraged by her supposed claim that he wouldn't see his kids again, is belied by his later report to an author, that he had already smothered his daughters in advance of his murder of his wife. He was fully committed to a premeditated plan of mass murder, which he claims to have planned 2 weeks in advance. Maybe narcissistic injury at the prospect of him losing face by divorcing, or being less appealing to his mistress because he had a family, could be a factor. He just seemed like he did not value human life for it's own sake.

I suppose I need to disclose that when we were trained as paramedics (and I went to paramedic school for 2 years, NKU's School of Health Technology, plus I have 10 yrs of experience) they trained us to recognize psychiatric emergencies and abnormal behavior. I'm basing my opinion of her behavior of leaving nuts around as abnormal whether or not she "believed" the kids did or didn't have allergies. You don't take a chance like that, esp when you don't work in healthcare. I would at least find out from a doctor but why would the mother lie about a peanut allergy? But then my opinion was solidified against her when I saw a news video (done by People Magazine of course) that interviews his parents blaming the victim for her own murder. That's just completely TACKY but what can one expect from certain reporters at People Magazine. I lived in Los Angeles. I know what they did to celebrities. They're making money off a tragedy & I may not know a great deal about "abnormal psychology," but I do know you DON'T blame the victim for the murder.

My wife and I talk about this a lot, so it’s amazing to find your analysis of the idea that rage was behind the killing, or was it? I lack the ability to be so objective, my mind wants to immediately give things a name and reason. Initially, we almost had sympathy for Chris. Assessing his wife together, we see this high strung, “my family is perfect” image on social media, mlm pusher, needy person...it was like this guy was gonna snap at some point, who wouldn’t? We had to really put ourselves in the same position, and no, we wouldn’t have hurt our spouse...we’d just fucking leave them. Maybe even slander them a bit if we felt the need, break that picture-perfect image they wanna portray so badly (resentment of being put in that position constantly may have caused us to seek revenge in some way). However, he killed her. And then the kids. I just don’t get the second part. In times when I’ve wanted to hurt someone in my past, it mattered to me that it was the right person and that the person knew the attack came from me and exactly for what. It’s strange that someone could kill someone uninvolved or who isn’t the source of your “rage.” Unless that’s what rage can do? Columbine? Constantly suppressing yourself, it’s not enough to shoot off guns and make threats, some people want to bring it to light and they want everyone to know they did it. The only thing that allows me to think Chris did this out of rage would be the fact he was so dumb about it. He tried to list his house and shit, pulled the kids out of school, lots of text messages and the camera next door. It just seems like premeditation, and rage was completely secondary. I think his pent up anger allowed him to justify his actions, but he knew what he was doing when he was doing it. People like to pretend they won’t be vindictive given the chance to be, but give them a chance and you’ll see a person you never thought existed within them. I think he thought he had his chance. Though, I’ll never know. Maybe one day he’ll be more upfront when he realizes he’s never getting out and his reputation is already in the ground.

I also wanna add, I’m not excusing what he did. I tend to always consider the perspective of the person people are against, because I’ve been that person and not everything is as easy as “he’s a psychopath” or “they’re just a piece of shit.” I try to really understand the way that person was thinking or feeling before I come to any conclusion. But my assessment is always so shallow and based on my own experiences. I appreciate these videos because it broadens my ability to understand and draw a conclusion. It seems, though, there never is just one conclusion. That frustrates me for some reason as much as it amazes me.
