Vicki, I do have to wonder why Terri was allowed to be in charge of the kids as much as she seemed to be, if she was a drinker as he now states. That bothers me a lot. He can't know she didn't start drinking the moment he left in the morning. Maybe she was just "lucky" not to get caught. People with drinking problems are famous for secrecy, but he is saying he knew.
I am NOT blaming Kaine but I do wish he had not left her in control of a baby and a little boy, with access to vehicles as well. I am very glad the the baby, at least, was not physically harmed as a result.
Thinking about what the woman who saw her in FM said, about how Terri had never acted that way with her before-what if Terri had been drinking the morning of June 4th? What if she was drunk when she saw her? What if Terri did something to Kyron and doesn't even remember where she put him?
My (late) little sister, who was an alcoholic, had what she called wide-awake blackouts at times. She would find fresh groceries in the house, for instance but had no memory of going to the store.
I know Kaine said he tried to work at home a lot, but he was at work or gone from the home for 6 hours on the 4th...that is a long time to leave a dubious, unbalanced and possibly intoxicated woman in charge. And something very very bad did happen...
