Bolded by me.
The bolded portion paints a very sad and tragic picture if one sees the grandparents as victims of an evil Casey. I, however, do not see it that way. I see Casey as a victim of her family and Caylee as the ultimate sacrifice by whomever.
My opinion only
There are a lot of victims out there, of far more horrendous abuse than what KC suffered (if she is not lying again). I don't normally spill my guts online, or anywhere else, but I am one of those victims.
Being molested by my father and brother would have been a picnic for me, so would having CA for a mother.
I was (apparently) the poster child for pedophilia. I was molested from the age of 2 by my mother's brother, her brother in law, then later beginning at age 6 through age 14 by the minister of the church I had attended my entire life (who was paying my mother to let him molest me).
Many of you have followed my link here to my Myspace page, so you know what I am about, and that I have never even considered murdering anyone.
I don't subscribe in any way, shape or form to victim mentality, no matter what has happened to you. That's life. There are many thousands of people out there that had it rougher than me. And I have never met a family in all my travels that is not dysfunctional. Families do not come with instruction manuals, neither does life.
You take what you are given and deal with it. You either crawl into a bottle of booze or pills, or go deep inside and turn it around and make something of yourself, or you end up climbing a clock tower or murdering your child.
And I am certainly not defending CA, because I believe she is just as guilty (no more, no less) as her daughter (because of the things she is doing to prevent Caylee from getting justice).
