To answer your question... No I don't understand their demeanor, HOWEVER, the parents in the Netflix (bizarre) documentary "Abducted in plain sight" have a very similar demeanor in their interviews (smiling and laughing a lot, the mother talking about him fondly) so who knows. There's certainly no doubt over the abuser's guilt in that case so .

My honest opinion is that Wade's mother is just coping as well as she can; she seems pretty upset towards the end and her relationship with all of her kids is pretty strained now.

Safechuck's mother just seems kind of callous I guess? But who knows. Could be a defense mechanism I suppose.

they dont look alike as kids though, only as adults, I wonder is something in the edit has been done to achieve this similarity in appearance
