In Fairness To Cindy

[JaneInOz]

Given this entire case from the beginning Cindy certainley hasn't been looked at in a positive light. We have been mortified and angered at her for her behavior during this entire nightmare.
Yes, she really missed it big time in the parenting of Casey. But after the Aug. 14th video was released, I am beginning to see some things different. I saw a desperate, heartbroken, woman. It was one thing to see the real Casey, but I couldn't keep my eyes off of Cindy. I could, as a mother myself of a disturbed, wayward child, (not a lying murderer) somehow relate. I was hearbroken for her. I pray I never have to go through what she is now, and will, for the rest of her life.

One thing in particular that has been bugging me is the chili incedent. I've read several posts about how Caylee did not like chili, but Cindy fixed it anyway for Caylee's 3rd Birthday and we all thaught that that was odd.
Actually, Cindy fixed the chili for Caylee because she did like it to there suprise. Shirley P statement to the detectives said she fixed chili, but fixed her a peanut butter & jelly sandwich because they didn't think Caylee would like it. But, she did; she just didn't eat alot because she had eaten alot of popcorn at the nursing home. I know that thats not a huge thing, but it seems that Cindys motive for fixing Caylee chili was misinterpreted a little. I believe it was actually a loving gesture to Caylee.

I'm just wondering...does anyone else have any thoughts of where we have been perhaps a little to quick to take Cindy (and George) out of context?

:heart:

Nope because I have never felt anything for them but compassion.
I felt entirely sick watching the Aug 14th Video the way that their daughter treated them like they were Pieces of cr@p it was terribly painful to watch that (besides the other behavior)
Cindy no matter what loved and adored Caylee, and also Casey so she is a heartbroken woman who has lost a beautiful Granddaughter that she helped raise and a Daughter

Children do not always turn out the way they do because of how their parents raise them. They can be raised in the best home and still have issues.

Ive always thought people too hard on George and Cindy, especially Cindy.

So thanks for this thread

How do you know Cindy hasn't been a parent to KC? Every friend of KC said that she was a good mother who seemingly loved her child and took care of her. That something happened, doesn't make it Cindy's fault. It could be that Cindy was a good parent and the fault whatever it is, lies with KC.

CA and GA have not been good parents for KC. They have enabled her all along. They've allowed her to lie over and over again. Remember CA's brother Rick saying CA/GA didn't even know (or pretended not to know) KC was pregnant at the wedding, when it was obvious she was? CA apparently said "she would have to have sex to be pregnant!" I mean come on!

Remember when she told the old friend of KC's not to hang around her, because she's a sociopath? If I honestly thought my child was a sociopath, I would get her professional help before I'd go mouthing off to some young friend of hers. Especially if she lived under my roof. In this respect, CA/GA did not look after KC... they allowed her behavior to continue unharnessed, and look where it got everyone.

I do have compassion for them though. They didn't kill anyone.

I believe the chili was possibly the last meal Cindy & Caylee shared on 6/15.

I know you wish what you say to be true. But honestly you nor I nor anyone else is anybody to be saying what we would do in such and such situation and imply that we are a pay grade above someone else.

I'm the last one to think I'm better than ANYONE, because I'm surely not. I do know how I react to everyday situations, and I just am not anything like the CA we've seen, I think she has been pussy footing around KC all of her life. If my daughter talked to me the way KC does to CA, there would be trouble. That being said, I do feel sympathy for the A's. They did not ask for this, nor do they deserve to lose someone so precious. And yes, maybe more discipline would have helped, maybe not. None of us will ever know that, and I'm sure CA is asking herself that now.

Thanks Dog-ma1. I appreciate what you said.

I just hear so much wind blowing through broken vessels.

I was going to post this very same response, almost word for word. You beat me to it.

That's really funny! The thing is , there is great beauty in broken vessels.

Beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

Being broken has made me stronger, wiser and more empathetic. It has also made me abhor injustice. Those who claim they aren't broken may be like those who claim they aren't insane.

After viewing the 8/14 jailhouse video, I could feel compassion for ca, Had I not been aware of her actions since that time.* Her granddaughter was presumed missing at that time, and her daughter was in jail.* Noone would ever want to walk in her shoes. However, ca lost sight of what was the right thing to do, once kc was realeased on bail.*

These are the times that I have had sympathy for Cindy:

1. The 911 call where there is panic and helplessness in her voice.

2. When I read the e-mails where her mom and aunt discuss her and the difficulties she is having with Casey and George.

3. The desperation in her face, during the Aug. 14 visitation with Casey, and Casey not having a shred of sympathy for her mother's pain.

I admit though that I have been disgusted with Cindy the rest of the time because she continues to defend her homicidal daughter.

I also hate her for purposely lying to the public so that she could raise money for a pointless search for a live child( I believe that she knew that Caylee was not alive during all her "sightings").

Having said all that I do believe she did love Caylee because Caylee was the only person living in her home that bought any joy and pride into her life. However, I believe that after Caylee's death/murder, she has completely failed her.

Don't even get me started on those "sightings" AFTER Aug 14 ..
Cindy knew on Aug 14 that Caylee was already gone ..
She kept right on playing the public ..

No wondering where Casey learned her lying ways .. :furious:

Good one!

Yes, a broken vessel has the greatest possibility of all - don't we all know - each in our own ways.

??? Am I missing something, or are a lot of conclusions being drawn based on bits and pieces of information and mis-information?

aaah, i see where you're going. what information we have is limited to what has been released by LE, but coming across any misinformation here is rare and imo always an innocent mistake. there's a wealth of knowledge on this site, not 'bits and pieces', and people learn then speculate on what might have happened and debate their theories w/ eachother. if it's the truth you want then you'll have to find a way to get it out of casey anthony b/c she's the only person left alive that knows what happened and she won't tell.

How many Pro-Cindy threads do we really need?

 

[kageykaren]

CA may not have asked for this publicity surround ing her granduaghters death, (Yeah Right) but never the less it surrounds her because we the public became more interested in the saga when we found out that so many surrounding this case were not foolowing the laws of the land society has in place. When the laws are followed your more apt to have a different out come other than total confusion that keeps you running on empty. I don't judge CA's grief moments including her anger but I hesitate to give an educated woman any compassion if laws aren't being followed. These laws are all we have as a society to keeps us on a good path.

 

[PaulaF513]

Too true! There are some of us who become very emotional when faced with the inabilty of CA to get between Caylee and the danger facing her through her mother. ETA - If you know it is dangerous to run in front of a speeding semi and yet allow your grandchild to do so...is that wrong?

I don't think the Anthonys had any idea that KC was violent or abusive towards Caylee. One thing about KC that I've noticed is that she is quite the actress. Look at her total aplomb while lying about everything to LE. Look at her smirk while being led away after her first arrest. Consider a 22 year old, being locked up and still retaining the ability to keep quiet about the situation. There is something so very wrong with KC that it scares me to think there are plenty more out there somewhere, just like her. She's a mutant human....makes ya kinda believe in the "body snatchers". Her behavior is that odd.
