I hold CW 100% responsible for the demise of his family. When he annihillated his family, I believe he caused the kind of pain that never goes away to every person who knew him, Shanann, and their children, including NK. I see NK as a victim, too, because CW lied to her about everything. As a result I feel an urge to defend her every time someone attacks her. I don’t believe the things people say about her are fair or accurate. It comes across to me like mob mentality, like “The Scarlet Letter,” and I think NK is deserving of compassion and understanding. When I respond to criticisms of her, I do so, hoping I can present a different perspective, and maybe change a mind or two. I can understand how frightened and embarrassed NK must have been during those interviews. I can understand why she would want to protect her friends and herself. I don’t expect her to be a martyr, I don’t think it was necessary. CW committed these murders, not NK. She did destroy evidence, but when she destroyed that evidence she wasn’t thinking about it as evidence, she was thinking about it as pieces of CW, and she felt such a repulsion for him she wanted to remove every remnant of him from her life as quickly and thoroughly as she could. I understand that. I know many women who have done the exactly the same under the same circumstances, except for the murder part. I’ve said this a million times, though, and nobody agrees with me. Does that make me wrong? I don’t think so. Does that make me obsessed? I don’t think so. How long am I going to continue defending NK? I don’t know. Doesn’t seem to be doing any good. Several months have gone by, maybe NK is doing better now, maybe she’s suicidal, maybe she’s started drinking heavily. I don’t know. I hope she has a strong support system around her, and she’s doing well.

I don’t know. This is an Internet forum. We’re all anonymous. I think Websleuths is the best one out there. I love the rules. I don’t think I’m obsessed with NK, it’s just when I receive comments contradicting mine I feel an urge to write back.
