ITA, except for the coward part. I know I wasn't the easiest sibling to grow up with, and I know my siblings were grateful to have our parents deal with me instead of them. Of course, I'm not a murderer either, and if I did do something horrendous like that, I'd expect them to hold my feet to the fire. But I also would understand if they wanted to stay out of it and let me deal with the problem I created for myself.
I guess having my own psychological and social problems growing up, I can definitely see how LA would just want to completely stay out it. It's not his mess, he didn't create it, and he shouldn't have to be drug down by his sister by being a part of this whole mess. I am glad that his parents haven't forced him to still be a part of this, but I do wish he never had to be a part of it in the first place.
It doesn't excuse his actions, but he is the better kid and deserves to have a better life no matter what his sister does to mess things up for the whole family. I'm fine now with a good life, but I would NOT want to the be the one to drag down anyone in my family with my problems over the years. My brother told me at my wedding two years ago that I was his hero, and that meant so much to me because I know it was so hard growing up as a normal kid next to a social outcast/family problem of an older sister. To this day it still hurts to me think how my problems affected my brother and sister as we grew up together.
Of course, that separates me from Casey, who doesn't care who she drags down as long as she gets off and gets the life she wants. I hope Lee doesn't let her drag him down with her. He doesn't deserve it, and I wish his parents would see that they don't deserve it either.
I do wish he would speak up for Caylee, but maybe, just maybe, he's waiting for the trial to do that. It's the last hope I have for him. He doesn't come out at trial on Caylee's side, then I am through with him and he really is a coward.
Excellent post!
