I'm sorry for both you and your child, and hope for speedy recovery.
I believe the difference here is that your child was most likely born into love, but more important, you possess human empathy and a connection to your child.
Seems to me that BB does not have this human trait, and can only mimic what she perceives it should look like -- hence the drama for the camera scenes.
What parent would not be camped outside of the jail house pleading, begging, that person last to see their child alive to speak up and offer them something.
Agree -- it's like scorched earth to witness BB's impaired empathy and/or connection to her child.
