"I don't talk to Casey about, um, about the case"

[knt]

For example, I wrote that long thing about my high school meeting. I tend to make things "about me". I try to fight this..but I seldom win the fight. It comes from having a Mother like CA. I have empathy, however, because I am aware that something major happened to my Mother, likely long before I came along that made her "disordered".

CLIPPED

Affinity, I thought your post about the high school meeting was relevant and fascinating. I'd love some insight from you on what made your mother that way. Was this the norm for her, to believe you no matter what? Any other similarities to CA? Any insight about your mother might give us some insight into how CA became CA. Thanks for sharing!

knt, I wouldn't even know where to start. I guess I can simply say that my Mother had "secrets" and she never ever came clean about them. I feel people who she should have been able to trust abused her when she was growing up..in every way. She suffered as a result..and I suffered as a result. Dark secrets are never healthy but when the subject is dark enough it is understandable. One way to find out about my personal story is to do a search on my posts...many of which are in the members only section.

I've been thinking about something. Some of you think that CA DID grill KC about what happened and some of you think that CA got the answers and she is currently just trying to taint the jury pool or muddy the waters. I keep remembering the jailhouse video, however, where CA was so gingerly trying to ask KC questions. KC was having none of it and very upset with questions about Caylee. The first time I saw that video my heart really broke for CA. "What about Mt. Dora?" "Could there be something there?" Honestly, I do not think CA knew a thing about where Caylee was and also was willing to play this "espionage" game in order to have any dialog with KC.

Many of us have been in marriages where we could not bear to think of the unspeakable..that our partner could possibly cheat on us. (When we find out we are "blindsided"!) We can't "go there". Don't you think that (the absolute inability to face the truth) is what is in effect here with the "I don't talk to KC about the case?" thing?

In the recent interview with Kerry Sanders CA said something like "I can see if something happened.." (some sort of a reference to accident).

Watching the hammering video and the recent Kerry Sanders interview I see the same person (albeit blonder and with better skin) still playing cop/lawyer/forensics expert in an effort to arrive on a satisfactory answer (to her) about what specifically killed Caylee. I think she doesn't know and she never got anything out of KC to enlighten her. MOO.

This is not something I easily share. But I feel it will help anyone who believes Cindy is innocently unaware or that she is "protecting" Casey.
I know from personal experience that a mother's first instinct is to protect her daughter but then her next instinct is to find the truth. There is absolutely no way that a mother is not going to talk about what happened! When Cindy said "I don't talk to Casey about, um, about the case," I knew she was one of the biggest liars on earth.
A few years before the big broohaha at the Air Force Academy, I got a call from the AFAA clinic that my daughter was there going through an examination because she had come to them as she had been raped by fellow cadet.
When I arrived I was in full protection mode both in public and private. But in private we also discussed every single aspect of the assault. The academy was trying to make it seem like a date rape. She and I talked, talked and talked even more about it. It was hard for me but I had to ask her the questions I needed the answers to in order for me to make sure she was being fully truthful. (During her bad times we still talk about it.) He was simply dismissed from the Academy. She graduated. (But we both gave testimony to the Congressional Committee because of the horrendous backlash she endured. . . She had to "walk tours.")
I know that any mother would ask questions; deep and probing questions where it is hard to go. There is just no way you can't! You have to know the real truth to be able to help your child.
So I am certain Cindy did ask. Maybe she wasn't as blessed as I was and got answers that she didn't like ~ or just more lies that she wanted to believe more than the truth.
I just know, in my deepest being, that Cindy is an outright liar if she claims she never asked Casey any detail about what happened. A real, real liar.

I remember that statement so well, and 2 years later I still almost fall outta my chair. What did they talk about while out on bond? Chili recipes? Had that been MY child - the first thing I would do is set her down with a pen and paper and tell her to start writing every detail. Then we'd go over it with a fine tooth comb, then I would continue to badger her relentlessly until she begged to be arrested, or drove me to the crime scene.

Do I buy that Cindy didn't talk about her grandaughter missing - NOT FOR A MINUTE! She's got plenty of info, but is in denial. After all, Caylee is still missing and we should all be looking for her.

MOO

EU, I am so sorry you and your daughter had to go through that.

Like you, I would had drilled my daughter until I had her begging LE to take her away if my grandchild was missing for 31 seconds.

Then again, I would not let it go as far as CA did. My daughter would have been exposed years ago when the negative behaviors began and issues addressed immediately. No window dressing allowed in our home.

I am also sorry that you and your daughter had to endure this.
Your post also leads me to think of CA's other statements. "Casey and I are best friends."
I don't believe for a second that she never asked CA the probing questions. i DO believe that CA wants everyone to think she never asked her. I also think she says this to avoid the question asked of her. She is a liar, a bad liar and a horrible actress.

EU: I knew that :angel:ANGELS :angel:flew in the uniform of blue and now I know that they get their strength from Moms like YOU! THANK YOU for passing on the courage to that young woman, your daughter. She's not only a beacon of light for our country but for all those who's footsteps follow her shining example of self worth and fortitude!


To all my brother and sister posters: You have no idea the strength I receive from your shared stories, and by golly, they seem to arrive exactly on the day needed. A big teary, weepy, THANK YOU!



BUT I STILL can see the spell check! :woohoo:
