Let's continue on. In the weeks before her death, Mica Miller called 911 several times regarding GPS trackers on her car and stolen belongings 14 times. Meanwhile, JP filed a mental health pick-up order telling police she was bipolar and off her medications.
JP proactively told police that Mica was bipolar, schizophrenic, and having an episode to explain away her cries for help.
It's not to say that there couldn't have been actual mental health problems going on there. That could have existed. But when you look at the environment she was in, gee, I wonder what was exacerbating that. How common is it for a narcissist or a sociopath, abusers like this, to intentionally terrorize a victim in private, only to use that trauma, that trauma response when they're out there, hey everybody, this isn't right, or they're reacting, to label them as crazy or unstable to authorities or friends or family or anybody looking in to make sure that nobody truly sees what's going on. And disturbingly, how successful are they typically in telling that tale?

I think there's a lot of this. It's probably under reported.
But this, you know, it would be, I was watching this, of course, thinking, boy, I'd love to look at all her medical records and what they documented in the hospital. And, you know, because you wonder, bipolar disorder is a pretty serious diagnosis. And one of the videos that apparently he had recorded, she did sound psychotic in what she was saying.
But can trauma drive a person into a state like this, when it's ongoing trauma, they feel trapped? I think there's evidence that that can happen. And it may look psychotic, it may look like bipolar disorder, but it can certainly be, you know, severe anxiety, depression, feeling trapped, hypervigilance, and, you know, for her to not submit to him, meant that she was refusing to follow God or to love God. And so, that's quite a double bind to be in. And could that exacerbate maybe somebody who had existing vulnerabilities? And I think she had vulnerabilities. And so, there could have been, you know, an underlying mood disorder, bipolar condition, and the stress of this marriage triggered it and made it manifest.

Shavaun, could it also, because it was another interesting facet of this, not just her medical history, mental health history, which again, we've been covering so much of and learning so much about because of Lindsay Clancy, tragically, but he was really telling her so much, because like part of what I picked up also was every time he's having to interact with someone, including the congregation, he's always focusing on his actions. It's like a bad 911 call when the perpetrator calls it in. You can always tell because they're not worried about the victim. They're worried about what their role was and what they were doing, so they're creating their own alibi. He did that a lot throughout this. But part of that narrative, he kept preaching to everyone else. He was also preaching to her. So how can that also affect her own mental health if he's telling her she's bipolar and she's suggestible and he's the pastor. So I have to listen to him. I mean, he's telling her what she has to submit to sexually. Was it five times a day? This was the creepiest shit I've ever heard.
And so could that also play in to her, I mean, can someone basically become bipolar or at least exasperate it if someone continually tells you you are because he was doing that as well?

I would call it more a chronic PTSD response.
And that is where how, you know, we've been talking a lot about mental hospitals and how good of a job do these programs do. I think if she was in a really good program where they spent enough time assessing her and really got into what is your lifestyle like and what are these symptoms like and how is this all correlated, that that could have been picked up, that you know what, there's really more of a trauma response going on here than bipolar. But it's really hard to know and it's hard to know what the quality of care that she got was, unfortunately.

It'd be really interesting to see when he goes to trial, because again, I know he's not being charged with a death or anything, but I'll be interested to see what kind of searches they do on his computers and Google searches and things like that. It'd be really interesting because of all these things that it looks like he was doing intentionally. Did he research them? Was he thinking about them? I would be very curious on all these different aspects because he seemed to be doing things pretty intuitively that no more human beings wouldn't think of or even think of how to doing yet. He seemed to be pretty fluid with it.
