I honestly wonder how deep Cindy's love really was for Caylee and if she loved her was it only because she belonged to her chosen child? Would she have been so attentive and supportive if Caylee had belonged to Lee? Something tells me she would not. Oh she would 'love' the child of Lee's because Cindy does what makes her look better but so much of her actions show deep down now that Caylee is gone its back to being all about Casey and she is very dismissive of Caylee now.
But was it more about Caylee being an extension of Casey and she sees Casey as an extension of herself?
Even though Cindy has always acted quite strange imo the more she talks the more I see her trivialize Caylee's death. How could she dare do that to Caylee and reflect so little or no emotions when doing so.
Could she have deeply loved her like she tries to pretend yet talk so callously about her remains being thrown away and it seems to be nothing to her? Doesn't seem to bother her at all that her granddaughter's remains were just 15 houses away in a swamp decomposing each day. Wouldn't that thought just break the heart of any loving grandparent? I know it would me and I could never forget it or get over it. Yet, Cindy.........she doesn't seem bothered by that at all. How can a grandmother forsake their little deceased granddaughter and that is what she has done in order to make a gazillion excuses for the inexcusable one.
So I am now not so sure how deep her love really ever was but am now wondering if it was more about pleasing Casey and being the 'perfect" (in Cindy's mind) grandmother for Casey's child.
IMO
The depth of CA's love for Caylee is evident in how she's responded to Caylee's death and all the circumstances around it.
It's not hard to put together, a person doesn't need a crystal ball or a degree in psychotherapy to make a very informed guess.
People with CA's (and KC's) character disorder see other people as "objects" that exist to serve their needs. Caylee did not exist in her own right, to the Anthony's. If she did, their response to her loss would have been very different.
I think this explains our fascination with the Anthony family. Beneath the surface, the Anthony's are bizarre and frightening.
The Anthony's behave, in my opinion, as if they lost a very valuable OBJECT. Like an heirloom, maybe. A precious possession. Even Jeffrey Dahmer treasured the contents of his refrigerator. There weren't PEOPLE in his refrigerator, they were HIS little things, they meant whatever bizarre and evil meanings to him, but had no value other than what he gave them, to meet HIS needs.
To me, the same thought process shows in the Anthony's, in a much less gruesome way. Caylee was a beautiful doll that existed to please them. I have no doubt Lee and KC were regarded in just the same way. Now she is gone and they feel entitled to exploit the public's sympathy (and money, please). I just want to throw up.
CA couldn't love Caylee, and is only behaving "naturally" according to her character. And Casey (imo) killed her because of the same dynamic. George (imo) has capitulated, surrendered, given up and lost himself a thousand years ago because it was "easier" to disappear, so he ain't much better in the integrity department.
This is just "my" gospel . . . but I believe the Anthony's illustrate human evil. Oblivious to reality outside of their own heads, disregard and blindness to what exists outside what they WANT to exist.
I don't think the Anthony's are in a stand alone category, this is how people end up dead all over the world. They don't "exist" to the person(s) responsible for their deaths. And the person(s) responsible are constitutionally incapable of behaving or relating in any other way than they do.
