Suppose everything in the manuscript actually happened- that Verity is a bad mother. Then the question is- Why would she confess to it on paper, on computer? What was her point of even writing all this down....

Which makes you think why would the manuscript even exist?
Which makes me think that a plausible reason for the manuscript existing could really be because Verity was practising "agnostic journaling".

And if she's practising agnostic journaling, then that means what she said in the letter could actually be true. Jeremy knew and a few things about Jeremy and Lowen make me so uneasy:

1. How Lowen is a Verity in the making with the bad childhood, obsession with Jeremy, bed-biting, getting pregnant immediately etc.
2. How Jeremy was already "obsessed" with Lowen that he contacted her to finish his wife's books. Almost as if he needed a new Verity in life- but a version who could love his children.
3. How the manuscripts fell into Lowen's laps so easily. Almost as if Jeremy wanted her to read it, become his accomplice.

I don't know if the manuscript is true or rather by what percentage it is true, but the letter might be true. I believe Jeremy knew about his wife, but just didn't know of a way to get rid of her without being jailed. His first attempt after all failed. So he brought in Lowen to think of a scot-free ending. And Jeremy was okay with Crew and Verity being together because he believed that Verity would not kill Crew- she saved Crew and Crew obeyed her.

The only thing Jeremy did not know was that she was faking her injuries. That's when he thought "FTS, let's end it now. Lowen, tell me what's a scot-free way?"

Maybe Verity wasn't as evil as what Jeremy believed her to be....(less)
