It would depend on how this family defines LOVE. Where was the love when KC was stealing from grandma, mom and Lee? Where was the love when KC was out partying instead of being at home with her own child? Where was the love when a mental health specialist recommended KC find other housing and start acting like an adult?
IMO this isn't love, it's enabling. I'm a mother who dearly loves her children but I would never tolerate, excuse or justify from any of my children the disrepectufl, rude, deceitful, selfish and criminal behavior that KC has been allowed all of her life.

(hadn't noticed this post before) Great one!
IMO Cindy is also dependent on Casey's "problems" keeping her from doing something about her own personal demons... the ones that live inside of
her. If we surround ourselves with people who are sicker than us we don't realize the extent our own issues so we are fooled into thinking we are healthy.. it
feels healthier to be someone elses victim rather than our own. It's always someone elses issue, always... it's the only way she can tell herself that she is OK inside. She's George's "victim" too and she'll forever throw his past mistakes in his face no matter what he does to try and make up for it.
IMO This woman needed Casey just as much,
if not more, than Casey needed her... and she needed the sick Casey. Without Casey and George who's victim could she be? She gives
everything all the time they give next to nothing, always (even her mother sees that!)! She defines herself by her relationships... by what she
gives to and
does for others. I think it's very sad that she does not seem to even expect love from anyone- a person loving her for who she is not what she can give them or be to them!
She
really really needs help and I pray she gets it so she can be happy if even for only a few years. What happens after the celebrity status she has gained from all this dries up? When her mind starts having time to wander and wonder, ya know?
Anyway, I'll shut up now! LOL
