I'm not taking of for EJ in anyway. I think whatever she has done is absolutely HORRIBLE, but I have to say this. Just knowing what I've learned about her background -allegedly having drug addicted and alcoholic parents, her mother being murdered when she was a young girl, her father dying at a young age, and being shuffled around from foster home to foster home - I can see why this girl had some serious problems. That's a lot for anyone to handle, let alone a teenage girl. Who knows what else she may have endured. Anyway, it's just really ashame that she wasn't put into some on-going therapy (maybe she was - I don't know). She obviously has a very wounded soul and is not capable of taking care of a child. She wasn't even taking care of herself. You'd think that once she had a baby she'd find away to work out the pain of her childhood so that she could provide little Gabriel with the best kind of enviroment possible - give him a happy and stable life. A life that she didn't have as a child. I just don't get it, but then again - I don't know her. For all I know, along with her emotional problems she could just also be a selfish person or worse - a sociopath. However, when I saw the pics she had carried with her in her hotel room (possibly of family members), that tells me that she is capable of some type of feeling.
ETA - Sorry for the ramble. THe girl confuses me. How could she not love and want to take care of Gabe? He is so precious.
