I agree with you. Even though Stacy did "act out" against Kathleen, I beleive it was only because of her immaturity at that time, being enamored of a "father figure" in a police uniform who fed her what she needed to hear.
As she wrote to Cesare, snip.... "as I become more mature", etc. she was realizing that DP had been manipulating her for most likely from day one.
Someone mentioned that possibly she just took off to save her life. Although, I wish this had happened and she probably thought of it, she wouldn't because of her love for those children.
That in my opinion only leaves the other scenario..............DP (the cowardly lion) made sure she wasn't going to leave him and/or take the children.
Presicely. She probably saw the same behavior being directed at herself that Kathleen accused DP of during their divorce. And, knowing what she did about Kathleen's death (I would be shocked if she really did NOT know that DP did it), she was probably terrified. Which is why Cassandra said that all day saturday she was texting Cassandra saying "I'm Ok".
