CA: We forgive anything that you've said.
ICA: I haven't said anything...don't worry.
ICA sounding VERY chipper.

That's one very critical, salient statement in all of this (IMO).
Maybe
that's the fundamental problem here. ICA's been forgiven, or translated ... enabled ... all her life. All her stories, perhaps since a very young child, have been swallowed hook line and sinker by her audience. Maybe ICA was always humored not disciplined when she told some "big ones". Maybe people laughed at her and she learned that when she lied - she got mega attention.
To that end, as an adult, she's now playing back that humor. Laughing back but this time she doesn't seem to understand this is no stage. It's a cliff edge.
Spoilt when growing up? I certainly don't know ... but one thing is for sure, seems moral values, self respect and common courtesy are nowhere in this woman's orbit; her deception comes as automatic to her as waking up every day. Just a given - it's normal. Someone "else" will fix it. Scarlet O'Hara and "tomorrow's another day"...
Very sad. Look where it all led. Too tragic ...
ICA took *nothing* seriously. Not even the life of her own daughter. IMOO, o course
