I'm so sorry, but everytime I read SippyCupGang, I have to giggle.
I know that this is such a tragedy, but I can't help but to laugh at the outrageous tall tales this family comes up with. The fact that CA insists that Casey is/was a good mother is the biggest laugh of all.
Casey wasn't a good, loving mother. She was a young woman who gave birth. Cindy was Caylee's mother. Casey was a incubater for Caylee. I'm sure she loved Caylee, but she didn't love Caylee the way a true mother loves her daughter. Any true mother would give up her own life for her child, not give up her child for her own life.
I know many believe that Casey is slick and wiley, smart and calculating. I think that they give her far too much credit. I feel that Casey is a liar. A born liar. She isn't nearly as smart and wiley as many suspect. She is a born liar and not very good at it.
It's obvious that she was constantly being caught in her lies. You can tell that by her need to fake emails about her employment, not being paid, her whereabouts, etc. Her family was onto her bull****, and called her on it. The fact that they'd buy any of her crap is their own doing and they all should not be surprised at the outcome. This poor little girl has physically gone from this material world and in a better place, God willing. (Which I'm sure God certainly has willed.)
Casey isn't smart, or slick, she's just plain selfish, and will do whatever, and say whatever she has to, at that moment, to get whatever the hell she wants. She's not slick or smart. She's selfish. Her family enabled this by NEVER holding her responsible for her actions. Cripes! The grandparents were raising her little girl, Caylee.
I could've been a Casey. I know her well. Fortunately, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, my parents didn't buy a single second of the bull**** I was selling and there was a healthy dose of leather belt/back up against the wall reprimanding that kept me on the straight an narrow. I thank them for it every day of my life. Let's just say my nickname was Summertime, 'cause I was always grounded during the school year. :crazy:
