It's what they do! Go back now that you recognize this behavior in her and you'll find you will see it *and other "like" behaviors often. It's these kinds of behaviors that leave me with no doubts about Cindy. She (like her daughter) really is quite transparent.
I don't think I have met anyone with a personality disorder who wasn't overly jealous/afraid of rejection. Some, when they get jealous go as far as to make up stories to tell the children about the husband that are untrue.. Then tell the husband a story about the children that is untrue. Just to cause problems between the kids and the father.
I'm a few days behind but I have lived this experience myself. I've been in therapy for nearly 20 years and I still don't understand how a mother can do those things. And the only mother-daughter interaction Casey understands has jealousy, resentment, and rivalry all wound up with "love." That doesn't make Casey less culpable; it just makes her mother (meaning Cindy) responsible for using Caylee as an emotional pawn. Without that dynamic, Casey might have been able to just give the child up for adoption, or to her parents. For Cindy and Casey--"It's all about ME."
