I guess I meant this was her "long game". She obviously had to anticipate the "media frenzy, missing child searches, etc." that would be the result in her killing Lucas and hiding his body....but she believed she would get away with it....(kind of like baby Lisa....live just continuing on after a year or so and no body....)
In her long game, she has baby MH, JH and more time with her boys....in their new little cute rental, etc.
I do NOT think this takes away from all of the other horrible things she did....abusing him regularly. I just envision in her diabolical mind fantasizing about a life she wanted (and what pushed her over the edge was JH potentially putting that in jeopardy by hitting her son).
I guess I believe this is plausible because of a personal situation. My best friend's daughter was being groomed and came oh-so-close to being molested by our mutual friend's boyfriend. The daughter thank GOD came to her mom with all kinds of texts and photos he had sent her....along with revelations about several instances where he had been inappropriate....but had not yet totally crossed the line. The daughter was a regular babysitter for our friend & her boyfriend. Often the daughter would arrive to babysit and only the BF was there....getting ready to go out. He would come out of the shower and walk around with just a towel on.....ask questions and attempt conversations that were sexual/flirting.
So fast forward to mom breaking the news to our friend......at first she was infuriated, nauseated, so apologetic....until BF got to her. Our friend was recently divorced, and when we told the husband what was happening.....he immediately got a restraining order that said the BF could not be around their 2 daughters at any time.....well new dilemma.....our friend had already invited BF to live with her (and the daughters part time as they had joint custody) Daughters just ages 3 & 5. Our (now ex-friend) LIED and said BF moved out to comply with restraining order....but that never actually happened. BF would just couch surf when the daughters came over......
So I believe in EG's mind that she could work out a scenario where she gets to see her boys more often and quite possibly have JH out of the house when need be. The only way that would happen would be if Lucas was not in the picture. JH is not going to come home to his own house when he would be spending time with Lucas and also "disappear"......I hope that makes sense. I just never believed her motive was just resentment that she was strapped with being Lucas's caregiver but couldn't have her own boys......I believe the motive was the "long game" and her sick fantasies about the life she wanted.
Excellent post, and that was my exact thoughts when the details came out about her granted visitation with her boys. I remember even saying something to the effect that their three bedrooms were for her and JH, the daughter, and her sons, because she was trying to get overnight visits with them and eventually partial custody. She used Lucas as a means to get visitation rights with her sons, and it seems to me that not too long after, the abuse towards Lucas intensified. JMO
