I kind of agree with this. I'm sure dealing with a sociopath like Casey wasn't easy. What sticks in my craw, however, is that Cindy never once tried to discipline Casey, or get help for Casey. Not once. Cindy finally went to someone for herself, but only when it was way too late. That combined with her attitude, the Anthony's versus the world, I am right and everyone else is wrong, makes me lose sympathy for her. Honestly, if she had come out saying she had no idea what made her daughter this way and had tried to Casey help and it failed, that would make me have more sympathy for her. It's obvious that she denied Casey's problems to everyone else, and just let Casey be Casey, never once making her take responsibility for anything, not even Casey's own child.
Just because Casey is a sociopath does not automatically mean that doing nothing at all to try and bring her up to be responsible for herself is okay. Enabling a sociopath is the worst thing they could have done with her. Also, Cindy's need to have a perfect family outweighed Casey's problems and getting help for those problems. I'm not saying Casey could have been fixed, probably not, but maybe at least if they had tried to get her help and raised her in the right way, Caylee might not have been murdered out of spite. Not all sociopaths murder people. Most use people, which is bad and don't get me wrong on that, but most don't kill people. I'd rather Caylee have a chance at being alive than Caylee being doomed for certain because her grandparents raised Casey to be an entitled, do nothing but steal from others and make up grand lies for everything, spoiled brat. Heck, if all sociopaths were doomed to be murderers anyway, there would be a lot more dead people right now.
No, Cindy didn't kill Casey, but Cindy and George, by their nonaction and enabling Casey, created a situation that couldn't have ended any other way in my book. Casey was a timebomb waiting to explode, and CA and GA, by finally wanting Casey to be responsible for the first time in her life, became the fuse that made Casey explode on Caylee and kill her. They should have been teaching her responsibility starting when she was a small child, not twenty some odd years later. And I'm sure Caylee was their second chance, and I'm sure they let Casey know that, further driving her to get rid of her competition. I cannot divorce CA and GA from what happened except that they didn't actually commit the murder.
