Unfortunately the coming year will be extremely difficult for the Anthonys, and they don't have the luxury of a large circle of friends for support.
And that's because they've chased every single friend away. I'll never forget Cindy's former boss coming to testify in court, and then leaving so quickly. She was so sympathetic to what happened to Caylee, and would have made a great friend for Cindy to cry on, but because Cindy is so invested in Casey's innocence, that not only will never happen, but that boss didn't even want to speak to her or look her in the eye. I kept thinking, that's a great friend and sympathizer that Cindy just stuck her nose up to. What an idiot.
I think a LOT of their former friends are this way. They have not only chased them off, they have become big time pariah's in their community. I don't know how the few people left that still go to court with them stand to be near them. I guess they just don't talk about Casey or Caylee to them. That would mean instantly not being friends with them anymore, I'm sure.
It's one thing to want to believe your child is innocent. It's another to hate other people so much for not believing that your child is innocent that you're alone, with no one to support or help you, and you'd rather be that way than have friends and support around you. They'd rather be alone and miserable in that house together than have support and guidance.
Not even their own son seems to want to hang around them and give them support anymore, not for a long time. Their own families seem to be staying away from them too. I actually feel sorry for their attorneys because I'm sure the only support they get these days is legal support.
All of that for Casey, the ungrateful daughter who sits in jail and won't even look at Cindy in court anymore. At least George doesn't show up to court anymore, but I can't fathom why he doesn't just leave that family now. What is the benefit of staying with Cindy? There is none. I don't know how she keeps him tethered to her.
I guess that perfect family facade has to be held up for some unfathomable reason. There must be some kind of book deal or something down the road to motivate these people, who are so miserable with no friends or family at their side, to stay together and keep their facade intact. What other possible reason is there? Do they still think they're famous or something? Does that producer that shows up to every court hearing keep them thinking they are still going to make money off of this somehow if they stay together at least until the trial is over? Is nothing but greed keeping them together now?
I just do not get them at all, and try as I might, I can't summon up one ounce of sympathy for them. This is controlled. This is something that they can change and they won't. It is their fault that they are still where they are. They could have changed their situation a long time ago, and they just won't.
And the saddest and most unfathomable and frustrating thing of here is that all of this misery and pain, all of the times Casey won't look at them or acknowledge them, and all of the times she continues to throw them under the bus to save herself is worth more than precious Caylee in their eyes. I just don't get it. I never will.
