Part 3 Chris Watts: Loving Guy Who Snapped Or Covert Narcissist? 

This video was made just as a massive hurricane was approaching Thailand!! I made this and then rushed into a basement for shelter 😂

The Watts mother is a nut herself. She was damaging for her family. She is at least partially to blame for making her son into a monster. Good job with your analysis.

Chris's father is spineless, you can tell by his minimal reaction when Chris said he killed Shanann "cause she hurt the girls".

You don’t mention that the nuts would have killed her granddaughter, which is even more serious; downright criminal. Fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.

His parents have no class. They spoke so poorly of Shanann in the interview. His parents didn't even go to the wedding. They should have supported him and respected him and his new family.

Cindy also called Chris’s childhood friend and complained. Making herself the victim. The friend called Chris and said that Shan’ann needed to stop her behavior that was upsetting Cindy. Cindy makes my skin crawl. Just like Scott Peterson’s mom.

Omg poor shanann. Can't imagine dealing with this insanity as she did.. Horrific from beginning to end.

Cindy also said in defense of her views, "A social worker said that marriage should have ended a long time ago." There is no way a social worker would have had any reason to evaluate Chris and Shanaan's family. They hadn't applied for public assistance and there were no reports of abuse by anyone at the girls' school that would have prompted the involvement of the state.

This is so on point with everything I’ve read and seen. She narcissistically ignored CeCe’s allergy and literally could have killed her. How ironic. 🤔

The situation about the children and the Ice cream is very disturbing to me. You don't say to a lil child you can't get everything you want. What a cold Grandmother.

I grew up with a very narcissistic, terrifying and tyrannical mother. Even when she was rarely ‘kind’ or ‘helpful’, my 2 younger brothers and I (me especially, her favorite victim) knew it was like making a deal with the devil. I have spent most of my life having fantasies about running away and even wishes for death. My life has been overwhelming. I could say sooo much more, but I’ll leave it at this. I am so thankful for your videos. While I cry sometimes, as I get very triggered, I have also learned a lot, and have been able to see patterns in things that have followed me all my life. God bless.

Your insight to these people is spot on. Keep up the good work.

I have a narcissist mum who also had a mum the same. Growing up was a nightmare sometimes. Everything was OK as long as I played by the rules of what they wanted. But ostracised if I wanted to do my own thing .im the opposites of my mum to the. Point of pleasing all but thinking I'm stupid not relevant or invisible. I've been so aware of this I have tried to be the opposite with my son. It's a long hard road. Brother committed suicide partly because he wouldn't conform. You do not realise how they wear you down. Negative vampires I call them .

One of those interviewed by law enforcement was a childhood friend of Chris Watts who had heard bad things about Shanaan from the Watts family but hadn't seen any behavior he found questionable in his limited dealings with her. After he met them in June 2018 on one of Shanaan's reward trips to San Diego, near where he lives, he mentioned that Chris' mother had called him to say Chris was leaving her. Almost everyone knows someone with in-law conflict. But I know no one who would encourage an adult son to leave his pregnant wife and two small children because "the spark is gone." She didn't like Shanaan and that was all that mattered not the welfare of her soon to be three young grandchildren.

Cindy’s power was, and is, more important to her than any person. Not even her grandchildren were “people” to her- they were objects she could use to her own ends. Ps- I love that your vids are outdoors! The sounds of birds and water nearby is lovely.

The mother gives me the chill. I just watched her interview... I saw the devil. It’s pure evil.

We don’t THINK Chris Watts is a narcissist, we KNOW he is a narcissist.

He didn’t snap. This Freak has always been a killer

Chris Watt's mother is a serious narcissist. Yes Chris was a narc too, but what broke my heart, what how much she clearly relished the drama around her son going to jail. It clearly had ZERO to do with her son's welfare. This is how the cycle is created and perpetuated.

I believe you gave an accurate account of Chris Watts and his parents. I thought mom was a narcissis too.. This was a very informative video..👍👍

New favourite channel. Such a quality analysis. 👍👍👍

You are amazing, thank you so much. The covert narcissist is exactly what he was. They hide it so well. Of all the many videos you never see him kiss those girls.

Excellent analysis! I agree 100%. Thank you for the education on Narcissist behaviours in all your videos on this sad sad case.

a commenter on a CW video actually knew a guy that was Chris's neighbor growing up. Chris was a bully to this boy; beat him up, in fact. When the boy told Cindy, she turned it around on the boy telling him he needed to learn to defend himself. hmmm

Chris seems to have been dominated and stifled by Cindy; dominated and controlled by Shannan and - from interviews with Kessinger- she seemed to be in control in their relationship as well. Chris' father also seems like a weak guy who couldn't mumble his way out of a paper bag.

Everything you have pointed out is so spot on . My ex was a covert narcissist and CW reminds me of my ex and I always knew he was....great video and info

Spot on once again! Outstanding! Those parents are some sick pieces of work! It's no wonder they helped create a damn monster like CW. That damn Mother didn't care one bit if CC got sick or died from her allergy. As long as she was"RIGHT" and had the upper hand concerning Shanann and her wishes. She's probably glad Shannan and the girls are gone. She had no feelings for any of them. Just like her son didn't! I believe that her only regret now, is that her son didn't get away with it all! Karma is coming "parents". Sickening!!

Very Good explanation. I Believe you are right on spot

Are there any others that feel that Pistachio ice cream was an unusual choice for a 3yr olds birthday party?

Yeah that sounds like Cindy ....but the father has that flat affect unemotional

Hi from Iran, You are so insightful. I have two girls with a narcissist who I'm seperated from and am scared to death if he actually entertains plans of killing us. He's not a sociopath but has high levels of narcissism and he's actually threatened to kill me. I have told anyone I know of his behavior. Thanks so much. Great videos.

I feel the nut incident was extremely sinister - it is hard to believe the amount of nuts in Chris Watts' mother's house that day, put into kiddies' ice cream and out on display on a table, was mere coincidence. As well as Bella and Cece, two other grandchildren were at grandma's house that day. They were all given ice cream with nuts in - except Cece who was told she could not have it and naturally, got upset. That was cruel and unnecessary. Nuts are surely not a typical kids treat anyway, lots of kids are allergic plus they are a choking hazard. This was not Shanann making a silly fuss about something - nut allergies can be fatal, she understandably expected the whole family to pay attention when she told them about Cece's issue. Her own parents removed all nuts from their house right away - but I think Cindy Watts went shopping for them! When Shanann saw the other children eating ice cream with nuts and Cece upset she couldn't have it, she remonstrated with her mother in law, and was told "Cece needs to learn she can't have everything". Cece is a 3 year old for God's sake! This incident, and the fact Cindy Watts did not apologise to Shanann afterwards but escalated a rift by blocking her on Facebook and failing to go to the child's birthday party, shows beyond doubt what an extreme narcissist she is. I think she did terrible psychological harm to Chris Watts. However, psychopaths are born with brains differently 'wired' to non psychopaths. The connections to areas of the brain controlling emotions like love, empathy and guilt are far weaker in a psychopath's brain. The most extreme examples like Chris Watts, whereby they become killers are said to be a combination of nature and nurture. So it is likely CW's brain has those weak connections to the emotional centres, and then in addition he was raised by parents who enabled his narcissism. I would love to see a video where you discuss the theories about HOW people become psychopaths - and also the difference between male and female psychopaths. Do they behave differently, and are there more male psychopaths than female? If so, why? Thanks for another fascinating video - I am loving your channel and so glad I found it today and subbed! Keep the videos coming! XXX

All of your videos on this are spot on!!! I do have a request: Could you please do a video on being raised by the victim of narc abuse? My mother was raised by a narc mother, but my mother turned out to be an empath. The sad part about this, is, her history of dating narc men, as well as not trusting her own emotions, because of continually being gaslighted. How do I, as the daughter, deal with her, and help her, if she’s in denial and/or doesn’t see the problem. Note: She visited us for Christmas, and denied that she is still seeing her narc boyfriend 😳. She also has a major case of dissociation. She’s rarely “with us” and uses this as a coping mechanism. Please help!!!!! Thank you for your brilliant insight into narcissism, and their victims.

My niece and nephew are both diabetics and we as a family NEVER eat anything they can't when they are with us. They are both teenagers now and this has not changed. It's about loving them and making them feel as if they are not different just because they have a condition. It's about solidarity, something that should come out of grandma Watts naturally, especially if she claims to be so "Christian"...

I'm fascinated with the series on narcissism. Thank you.

Hey, I wanted to let you know I love your channel so much! I’ve spent calm afternoons just binging your content. The measured way you explore the absolute clusterf*ck that is Narcissism has helped me come to peace with my own childhood and understand parts of my past. But way, WAY more importantly, it’s taught me to try and impartially examine my own behaviours and patterns. Self-criticism stings but it’s absolutely essential sometimes...

His Mum didn’t go to his wedding!

Yes!!! So glad there will be more Watts videos. I’m still obsessed a month on from Discovery.

This is beyond insightful & helpful - eternally grateful. Been with a narc, survived miraculously touchwood. He really was capable of killing me & was physically abusive. Thank you so much for this. Keep up your amazing work! You’re saving lives!

This is incredibly spot on. As far as I know Chris’ parents refused to attend their wedding they disliked Shanann that much.

Narcissist blame others right blocking Shan Ann from social media like you said making Shan Ann look like the bad guy

Great video. Can you do a video in regards to Narcissistic parents and adult children who are submissive to the Narc parents?

It makes it so easy to understand, when you use examples to explain. 👍

The truly malignant NPD personality has a tendency to take ownership of other people as if their a prized object and when that ownership is challenged "some has to pay for that"

It was a huge red flag to me when his mother in the interview said that Chris' was "a perfect teenager"!! There's something wrong with a teenager that doesn't rebel and distances himself in some way from his parents

Very good video. I totally agree with you.

I had a Narcississtic invalidating mother, but fortunately I fought my way thru therapy, and I'm getting on in life....I'm not narcissistic, I have anxiety and depression issues, but I'll take that over being an evil person any day

she could have killed Cee Cee and I wonder if that was half the point of having all those nuts around. She cared more about "proving a point" than about the safety of her own grandchild.

Your commentary on Chris’s mom was spot on. In an interview I watched about her, she was almost upfront about her dislike of Shanann. She was still looking to somehow blame Shanann.

The funny thing is that the mother called Shananne a narcissist.Chris's father said in the interview that Cindy said Shananne was narcissistic or bipolar .The father never seen the behaviors just heard from his wife and took the wife's side..

I love this point: "There is no such thing as a child who is genuinely being themselves and who is always good."

I think you're dead on!! I agree 110% liked n subscribed 😊

Since Shanann stood up for him is one reason why his mother hated Shanann. I'm wondering how we can get more information about his early childhood. Are any of his teachers speaking out? I haven't heard anything, but I'd like to know. Maybe this would shed light on why he became a murderer.

Gosh...you are excellent! You certainly know your way around the narchive...I wonder if it's narc abuse that lead you here or really extensive studies...cause I 've still ti find a person that has simply studied these stuff even at a professional level that really gets it as proficiently as you do....lots of wishes and keep up the Great job!!

Yes he shaped and wore his mask from an early age! Your videos are intelligent professional and your theories on what led up to this tragedy are very much on point! Keep it coming! X

Not accepting Chris's emotions....."And you can get that look off your face!". "What have you got to be depressed about!!!!?". These and many more were common refrains in our house. We would be verbally abused and screamed at for hours but weren't allowed to show any reaction. Pity parties followed these tirades.

you are so correct, it makes sense, the power structure, the stonewalling, the emotional extortion, the feeding off hurting Shanann, wow you are on point, #facts

Well and when he make a confession he call his father because the relationship with his mother. That confirmed you point.. you are awesome.. very professional

Cindy could of killed that child and then say it was a lesson how stubid ! If I had a child that was in my home that had bad allergies she should of picked a flavor they all could have ! His mother looked for drama ! I think Cindy must have a bad marriage or she would try to help her son to be more understanding in his marriage . But Cindy wanted attention anyway she could get it weather from her son or husband !

The psychology behind this subject is unbelievable and explains to me a lot of my own family. Thank you!

Love your insight. Looking forward to hearing more about this case.

Subscribed and thankyou. You are spot on with your description of CW and his family. With love from Scotland. 💗

You are FANTASTIC!!! Your take on this horrific story is unmatched!

You are so articulate! I love your videos... One thing I remember hearing Chris Watts talk about was how he's missing his family . This was in some other video. But he stated that if it weren't for " what happened" he could have a beautiful wife still, and two lovely daughters. Once again ALL about him and what he could've still had. Nevermind that these 4 other individuals could've still had LIFE!

Your videos are so informative. I am really enjoying your analysis of Chris Watts. Thank you.

I would appreciate a video on covert Mothers and their daughters. My Dad is an Overt easier to deal with but my Mom is a pistol as a covert.

Thank you again...well done!

This is the best analysis I have seen yet! Right on!

Finally some sound. Thanks.

Thanks for your thoughts and the most interesting insights I've read anywhere. I thought it was a give-away when the mother said Chris was always a 'good boy'. It made me shudder as it's so often manifest in later adulthood as some sort of mental illness/psychopathy.

Wow...you ALWAYS bring up such great points and details. Love your videos! Thank you

I am tremendously pleased and grateful to have found your incredible channel of late. Like so many others this tragedy has made a terrific impact on me and I’ve been grasping to understand how something so horrendous eventuated. Other channels seem to be more interested in sensationalising and commenters bickering with no insights arising or lessons being learned. You are truly talented and your knowledge and insights are informative, educational and interesting. Such understanding as you possess and spread helps to make sense of such a depraved and senseless act. Making it a little more bearable to contemplate. Thank You 💜

His mother spends her whole time in the spotlight gaslighting SW, portraying herself as a victim and how SHE did a good job raising CW, tried to deal with SW but she was just too unmanageable, in the court SHE forgives him.in interviews SHE loves him. “It’s so hard to get through it”( for HER) blah blah ...she she she.. all about her. She loves showing how SHE forgives him! Wtf is she the Queen of the realm? SHE thinks so.

He learned to suppress emotions from his family members, mostly his mom. He didn't/ couldn't/wouldn't recognize, acknowledge, nor express his difficult emotions. Those emotions turned very intense, dark and damaging.

Your analysis of Cindy Watts was on point. I hope all her friends and family are watching this.

You make so much sense out of the senseless. Thank you very much.

I think she went out her way to make sure she had nuts in her house. She’s a nasty evil witch of a woman 👿

This video is so on point The mother and father are both to blame as well No one in this world is perfect , yet the mother is saying that her son was a perfect person. He did not do something perfect though , killing his entire family They also knew he had someone else in their son's life Even in death both mother an father had nothing good to say about their daughter in law Even if in years to come He gives a reason as to why he killed his entire family The reason will never echo

This Watts case haunts me so much and finding your videos and analysis have been like a comforting blanket in a way. And giving reasons why evil such as this happens in the world is so helpful and interesting. (This case reminds me of the Nancy Cooper murder who also had 2 daughters and one was also also named Bella. But it shows how muddied a case can get once defense lawyers get involved). Actions that initially make little sense, can be deconstructed and analyzed and reasons for them can be made thank you.

Yes! I’ve been nodding my head in agreement with everything you’ve said here. I’ve lived this for 20 years.

Starting to think everybody is a narcissist person. Hmm

The dynamic you describe is exactly like my ex husband and his mother. It’s freaky how the behaviours are similar. These narcs really are textbook aren’t they?

These videos are helpful to me as I am recovering from a recent break up with a covert narcissist. Also, my daughter's father is a classic narcissist, and I have been coparenting with him for 9 years now, and these videos help me to deal with him.

I've enjoyed watching all of your videos! You're so knowledgeable about Narcissism and the personality traits. Its very important as a woman alone to be aware of of these types of people who look for venerable people in general. Thank you so much for the information. I've subscribed and I love listening with headphones because I love your accent.

Yes covert narcissist Exactly

If your partner has a parent like this *RUN FOR THE HILLS*

you're pretty much saving me right now with your videos. So grateful for you, I'm learning so much and everything I've experienced is totally being validating. you get it like no one else! and my experience lends itself to agree with your theory that narcissistic males typically have narcissistic mothers.My dad and every male I've ever dated.

Totally love your videos and the level of professionalism you use.

Do you think the fact that Shan Ann fought with his mother went into part of the reason he attack of Shan Ann ???

Do you think Chris Watts has been a psychopath all of his life?

Your channel is my new favourite. Amazing analysis. Excellent. I have subscribed and shared to my siblings and friends. Thank you.

I always enjoy listening to you. It's quite interesting. So thank you 💜

Cindy Watts said Chris should have fought the conviction ??? Cindy should have thanked Frank and Sandra for sparing Chris from death row . Koodos to Frank and Cindy and Frank jr for being the loving , caring and responsible people they are . Shane was a beautiful , loving caring wife and mother . Remember that Shanen's family will see her , Bella and Cece in heaven one day ~ My thoughts and prayers go out to this beautiful family ~

Well, Cindy, now you've created Frankenstein's monster, how do you switch him off? The whole concept of the 'mask' is scary. I used to think that narcissist was a colourfull euphemism that just meant self-centred. Your descriptions make it very clear that these people are toxic. These stages that they go through is worrying especially if they have found your replacement. If Shanann had wanted to break from him would he have still killed her and the children? Thanks for these uploads, they really are eye-opening.

You are so smart and disciplined in your thoughts. It's a pleasure to listen to you. I agree with your analysis 100%.

Great input.... getting deep into it...i love it! Example of just because you're old doesn't mean you're wise. Never stop growing, developing, learning, check your ego at all times::)

i agree everything you said

Your insights are spot on with Chris and his mother. Honestly I just thought she was the stereotypical "bitchy" mother-in-law. I believe they are both narcisstic people. During the impact statements at his sentencing, his mother said "I love you and I forgive you". In the her narcisstic mind, in your opinion, what do you think she really meant by that? And after she said it and turned to look at Chris he didnt look at her, yet it was the only time he showed emotion and cried throughout the whole sentencing. In his narcissistic mind, what do you think that emotion and tears really meant?

These videos are fascinating!! Thank you!!

Great video, keep up the good work! 👍🏼💯 Your videos are always intriguing and really interesting! 🤔
