"Why are they attacking her? We're not talking about just one statement. Every fact, as they said, was attacking her character and her mental state," said Cross.
Cross also denied her mother was ever diagnosed as bipolar.
Oh for corn's sake.
JMW's daughters need to get out of their own way. If you put aside, for a moment, the fact that it was out of line for the MPD to post what they did, and just read it, the FB post is not an "attack," at least not on Jennifer.
For one thing,
no one called JMW bipolar. If I'm not mistaken, the post said she was on medication that could potentially cause "new or worsening bipolar illness" -- which I took to mean that her meds could have begun to cause her some real trouble and that it's all the more crucial that she be found quickly. The daughter(s) apparently interpreted this as "calling their mother bipolar" -- not, correct me if I'm wrong, a character flaw -- and an "attack on her mental state."
That doesn't even make
sense. Her mental state is probably pretty bad, yes. The woman has an intense job, a less than ideal marriage, and now we know she also is spending a lot of time caring for, if not actually housing, four children on top of that AND her known health issues. My "mental state" would be horrendous. I suppose the daughter may have actually meant "attack on her mental health", which it isn't. The post says Jennifer is on medications for her physical issues which may affect her mental health. Which is quite literally true and IMO, extremely relevant to the search for her.
As for being an "attack on her character," JMW frankly began to look like a rockstar to me when I read the part about the kids. The posts lists a number of ways she's busted her butt taking care of her family. That's an attack on her character?? Hardly. The shade thrown at Beth about the multiple fathers, etc. could certainly have been construed as an attack on
her character. Not on her mother's. Which is a fight that can surely wait until after this case is resolved.
I got a slightly clearer picture of how hard JMW has been working, how lousy she probably feels both due to medical issues and prescription side-effects, how impressively strong a person she actually is, and how important it is to FIND HER ASAP. The daughters, meanwhile, are busy giving interviews about how somebody called Mama bipolar and it's in bad taste to bring up the children. I want to just shake them.
All my extremely-frustrated opinion, of course.
