You are right...instead of being sad, despondent and grief-stricken, CA appears more numb, drained, and drawn. She is in a state of unable to cope with the horror of what she is facing...the loss of her granddaughter at the hand of her own daughter. Her face is wan, her body is receded, her expression dead.
It is actually excruciating to watch. I am torn between pity for her and to my own shame, revulsion for what she seems to have begotten and wraught.
She is my age and with children my own childrens' ages. She is an RN, I am an RN. Being an RN, in my opinion takes grit, knowledge, empathy and ability. I am always proud to be an RN. I am always proud to be a mother. She must have been this at some point.
I can't but help put myself in her shoes....could any of my kids gone this way?I have a child that lied alot through high school and even college. It was awful...I didn't want to believe it. It has never progressed to pathology or murder...but there but for the grace of God, go I? I don't know? He is doing OK now...but this case has struck home to me. At what moment does evil creep in?
I myself have a bit of knowledge in medical & psych (due to my many medical issues unfortuntely & psych classes I took for most of my electives). I have a sister who is bi-polar, suicidal, lies a whole lot, etc. & have learned more than I would like from my past experiences. I have always had an uncanny understanding of these fields. Something that just comes easy for me...I was going to go into a medical field but I'm an artist & went to school for that instead. I often get asked when at an apt. if I'm in the medical field because I don't use layman's terms. I also had enough of my own chronic health issues that I didn't want to work in the field.
I'm glad to hear ur son is doing well now! You would think with the A's background they would have sought help for KC a long time ago. I'm guessing that they wanted to appear like the perfect all American family & hid all of the problems they had. The evil I think creep in for KC a long time ago!
I can compare myself to KC that I too had a daughter at 19, single, lived with my parents.....but I wanted more for my daughter & went to college to give her a better life. Sorry long post all..Just thinking out loud! :blowkiss:
