I'm coming out of lurkerdom (if that's a word) to post in this sad thread.
Do I hope GA gets some mental help? yes
Do I feel sorry for GA? eh, not so much.
I do feel bad that he has lost a granddaughter due to the product he helped raise. But I have a hard time feeling sorry for suicide "attempts".
Before I get flamed let me add that my daddy committed suicide on May 11, 1999...3 days after his 41st birthday.
If someone wants to commit suicide they do it. They don't call and text people to let them know that's what they are doing.
I do feel bad that KC has led this family down this path. But GA is an adult and he has made some less than stellar choices lately. It's time for him to own up to them. No matter what happens to the rest of the family.
By the way, my name is Carmen and I'm sorry if I offend anyone with my first post.
Hi My name is Carmen, too. I think that's about the only thing we have in common, though
I am very sorry to hear about your father, I know it was a terrible ordeal. However, I don't understand how you can presume what George Anthony would, or wouldn't do. I also feel very sorry for him, and not just because he lost a granddaughter. I feel sorry for him because he is living under a microscope while experiencing this loss, he has essentially lost his daughter, a large chunk of his privacy, his granddaughter, what relationship he had with his wife, I'm sure, his reputation, and probably his FAITH. He is LIVING in a house full of his daughter and granddaughter's belongings. He is listening to the same news reports and documents that make us cry, cringe, and hurt. I don't understand how people can be so callous. Sure, you don't have to agree with George's actions, but can you at least see where his hurt is coming from more than one angle, and how OVERWHELMING it must be?
I don't find it unlikely at all that someone who has had their granddaughter murdered (allegedly and most likely) by their own monster-daughter and gone through interrogations, testified against his own daughter inthe grand jury, knowing the inside info, imagining his granddaughter left to die in a trunk, or woods, having to walk into her bedroom, or see her toys lying around- yes, I don't find it unlikely at all that this person GENUINELY wanted to end their life.
I think it is unfathomable to judge this attempt, even if it were a cry for help.
And to the poster who said George should have handled things the "right way"
Is there a "right" and "wrong" way to handle this sort of mind breaking grief? Please provide a link to the "right" and "wrong" way to conduct yourself after you find your granddaughter was senseless murdered by your daughter, then produced lies trying to convince you to agree. TIA for the link, though I suspect it will take a lot of googling.
I really have to log off now. I'm going to get a time out
