MrLanders - "Hate to rain on anyone's post-JM follow up elation, but: it occurs to me that Jodi Arias wants to die. This, for her, is all a big show. She clearly remembers vividly every single nanosecond of her slaughtering of Travis. She's playing games with people's heads - something even her legions of detractors must admit she is very good at. She knows the jury isn't buying her nonsense. She enjoys the verbal sparring with JM. She is not concerned in the least about piffling little things like perjury, remorse or being liked."
Boy, MrLanders, felt like you were reading my mind in some ways. I was/am a counselor for over 20 years now and must say I have felt the same thing about her. The biggest tip off is her constant adding information to trip herself up. I see her splitting in half and one side or the other will have to win. She's in the dark nights, as she should be, and I think part of her really thought this would be a walk in the park - she's had years to play this out in her head. But when reality bit her in the a$$, she has begun to implode. She is splintering and I do believe, as well, a part of her is VERY suicidal. The other part is basic human survival in high alert mode. In the midst of this, her soul, and I don't say that in a way to offend anybody, seems to have already "left the building". I think there is little left of her at times except a caged animal.
I've only ever dealt with one true sociopath and there are similarities between her and him. However, he was not caged. I do find that watching her is almost a sick death dance in itself. I can watch parts of her peeling off and the caged suicidal, survival animal coming more and more out. At times, I feel sick to my stomach at it because of my nature of trying to heal splintered souls. Now it's not like I want to heal her, well, I do, but I don't because at this point, she's unreachable and she must sit with what she's done.
I don't know why I typed all this. I guess it's because my heart hurts so much watching all of this sickness for the family and the destruction of JA on the stand. It's hits me on so many levels, and some on such opposite polarities, I truly feel overwhelmed.
I just wish she'd break down and save what little soul she has left and give this family some peace...:sad:
Sorry...Just got so moved by Mrlanders post.
