Thanks. I still wonder just how much investigating Cindy did in getting custody....or was it just a threat she liked to throw Casey's way?
I haven't seen where she did any investigating. Most likely no more investigation, then most Parents do when they speak to their kids friends, or gather their own conlusions based upon what they think their child should be doing.
Reports of the prego and early days show that KC didn't want the child. That it was Cindy who forced her to keep it. So that doesn't sound like much of a threat. More likely some sort of a whip used on KC. One among many statements Cindy can use, involving Caylee, towards KC. All to 'control' her own child and keep her home.
As a single parent, it looks like KC had it made. I was in the same situation once. I lived at home, but my parents did not watch my child when awake. Babysitting only happened at night, after the baby was fully asleep. And I was to be home before the child wakes. When school/work started back up, baby sitting was allowed during those times only.
Nothing like parenting with a full time nag over your shoulder. Disagreeing with everything you do. Changing rules to suit themselves. etc. My breastfeeding got screwed up, my idea of no cereal was ignored.. cause she knew better then my doctor, etc. She had no problem doing for the baby, so long as I was 'there".
She wasn't doing this to be mean. She thought she was helping, by making sure I would be responsible for my child. But she has a very controlling personality. I was constantly reminded how lucky I was, how it could be, etc. Guilt, etc.
It's been 20 years. But I do remember it wasn't the perfect set up, that some folks might think it would be.
None of that would excuse what KC did to Caylee. I"m just seeing some wild assumptions. IF folks are going to guesstimate what might have been going on. Might want a peek at someone elses story.
