For me, it's reasonably easy for me to have a least a small amount of compassion. I look at the pictures of George and Caylee, then I look at the pictures of Cindy and Caylee, like the ones in the pool, then I really look at them now - I mean I really look at them now. They know what they've done, what they've created and it is eating away at them. I think they believe they are responsible for Caylee's death and are responsible for ICA. And I think they also believe there is no redemption for them because Caylee is gone forever.
This year my wish for Cindy is that she will look at her daughter and say, my daughter killed my grand daughter. Caylee is dead and is never coming back. My daughter is guilty and must face the consequences. That's my wish for Cindy.
I don't have a wish for George. Well, I wish he would take the high road, but the more we see of George, the more we know he won't. George will move on and find someone else to sponge off of - so he doesn't need my wishes.
Ya know, LogicalGirl, I too have looked at those past pictures of Caylee with her grandparents, and, there was a light that shown brightly from all of them during that time in Caylee's life.
I have to wonder where it went so wrong - how long did "this" simmer on the stove?
I remember watching a couple of videos of Cindy that will always stay with me and haunt me.
The first one, was when she and George were giving a press release or something. The one that Cindy is leaning into George, barely able to keep her eyes open, and, so, so, out of it. She had been the mouth peice, and all of a sudden, we see George doing the talking; with no knee grabs or interruptions from Cindy.
The other one with Cindy, was her exclusive with Holly B of FOX Orlando, shown a couple of days after Casey was arrested.
I don't know ~ I "believed her" ~ My heart ached for her. Holly asked her what she missed most about Caylee, and she replied; "Caylee would take her little hands and grab me by the cheeks, and squeeze them together, and tell, It'll be awwight CeCe".
My God, what in the world would a 2yr old have to reassure a Grandmother of?? That it would be okay???
What did that little one see in that home in those last months when things were obviously so heated?
I also wonder what Cindy's childhood was like. Diane Fannings states in her book, that Cindy was referred to as "Princess". That she was given things that her brothers did not have.
We've heard of George's turmulant past with his father.
We see no brothers or sisters from their sides showing any support.
We've seen brother Rick's e-mails to Cindy.
I felt bad for Cindy in the beginning when we heard how both George and Casey took Cindy for evereything she had.
In a way, I still for sorry for her in that respect. They had her between a rock and a hard space.
Does Cindy now feel that she is rightfully entitled to get whatever she can out of this?
Does she think, well, they both took me while I supported all of them, and Caylee.
If this is the only way that I can recoup any of that, then so be it??
I don't know ~ I will give the woman credit for working and taking on that heavy load.
I also know from working in a Domestic Abuse and Crisis Center, that is it can be extremely difficult for women to leave, for any number of reasons.
George wouldn't have had to have been physically been "beating her", there are all kinds of abuse.
I feel she was abused in that marraige - first by having to take on the main breadwinner role, when, George was physically able to work the majority of the time.
George wants fast money ~ Easy money ~ He doesn't want to have to work to hard or get dirty in the process, IMO.
Anyway - I agree with you as far as George goes.
Once this is over, he's going to be out of there. He'll have his own side of the story to tell and sell.
Cindy will be a fleeting memory.
She will be the one that is left with many guilts from getting herself into this so deeply, that she cannot find the door out any longer.
She feels as trapped in this, as she did in her marraige, IMO.
It doesn't excuse either one of them = but, their wiring has been messed up for so long.
I wonder if it is even fixable at this late stage in their life?
Cindy will be the one to continue to suffer by all of this though, IMO.
Probably didn't make any sense at all, huh??
These people are complicated, thats for sure.
