After watching these disgusting tapes, with Cindy and George coddling Casey I have come to the conclusion that Casey actually thought that everyone would forget that Caylee was missing and just move on with their lives. She did not want to share her mom and dad with Caylee and wanted to be the center of attention at all costs. I feel like she is smirking at times when she puts her head down like this is a big game and she's playing it on all of us. If you look closely you can see her almost go into a half laugh. I don't know if anyone else sees it or not. I am truly fascinated with this case because I have seen many, many dysfunctional families and crazy people in my lifetime, but this is just unbelievable. Part of me wants to believe that she is mentally ill, but the sane part of me says she knows exactly what she's doing and thinks its going to work on everyone just like it works on her parents.
Imagine, if you will, this scenario:
Casey's pregnancy is finally acknowledged in her 7th month. The discussion of abortion is negated because of the lateness in term. The Anthony's do what they're best at doing, and that is making the best of a bad situation. So the baby is born, and everyone is attached. Sometimes Cindy is more controlling than others, and sometimes she just cuts loose all support and lets Casey fend for herself. But there is no question that Caylee's role in the family has now become one of "little sister" more than "granddaughter."
A couple years go by, and Casey still hasn't gotten her feet under her to be an adult with a child. The increasing frustration about exactly who is raising Caylee accelerates to an intolerable level, increasing the fighting and bickering in the household. As things get to boiling point, Casey's secret about who Caylee's father is simmering on her tongue. The ultimate hurt for her would be to blurt this truth out once and for all and let her parents deal with THAT!
The "big fight" happens. In the midst of that, Casey lets go her secret. Her mother's anger is white hot. Intense. The fight gets physical with Cindy attacking Casey and calling her every name in the book, Casey swearing at her mother in an attempt to ward her off. In the middle of this fight, Cindy says "What kind of sick twist ARE you??? Why the #%#^ didn't you abort that baby???? WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT CHILD INTO OUR HOME??????"
And there it sits, hanging like the epitaph it became. Caylee's existence has now become a horror. And in that lull of the conversation, with her mother's absolute hatred for her own existence, Casey decides to take care of it once and for all. Caylee is the elephant in the room they all walked around and never spoke of and now that it's out in the open, she has to go away.
Casey, in her mind, took care of the horrible family secret. Cindy in her mind will do whatever she can to make up for what she said and will play the grieving grandma to the hilt as long as in the end, it is the mystery nanny who is ultimately blamed. George has done his part to hide the evidence. Lee will act like the Sherlock Holmes to prove the family has done everything in its power to resolve this.
And in the end, if they could write the ending, it will all go back to the way it was before that day, back in November 2004, when Casey conceived.
You can tell by her look she knows KC is lying.
