Why Did Kouri Richins Promise Her Children She's Coming Home?

Why Did Kouri Richins Promise Her Children She's Coming Home?

Three boys just told a judge they're afraid of their mother. They asked for life without parole. They described a childhood they don't miss. And then Kouri Richins stood up and promised those same boys she'd be back.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the 45-minute sentencing speech that told three traumatized children their reality is wrong, their feelings have been manufactured by the family protecting them, and the mother they fear is coming home. Shavaun examines the psychology of each major element — the "be like your dad" refrain, the redefinition of mutual infidelity as love that "never failed," the framing of a jury verdict as a personal injustice, and the closing instruction to never apologize for something you didn't do.

The question Shavaun answers: was that speech aimed at her children, or was it aimed at herself? And does the answer even matter if those boys hear it?
