I have no doubt that CA is a grieving grandmother and that all of this has taken it's toll.
That's not to say that CA is not LOVING the attention, loving the "celebrity" status she believes she has and defending that monster of a daughter she has, whether or not she believes her.
I have tried so many times to sympathize with the A's and they keep pulling this S@#$ that makes it impossible for me to understand them.
Cindy is SOOOOOOOOO belligerent in every single interview she has given.
Granted I pray to God I will never be in their position - but I would hunt down every friggin ZFG in the world BY MYSELF. I would turn over everything I possibly had to the detectives. I would trust LE more than my own lying daughter, and I WOULD FORCE MY DAUGHTER TO TELL ME THE TRUTH!
I do not mean to be rude, but I can not imagine how on earth anyone would love this kind of attention?
I see reticule, insults, blame, attack, accusation, That's not attention that feels good how can anyone like it? JMO
It is safe to say the family is dysfunctional, protecting Casey, BUT loving this kind of visibility?
Not IMO I cant imagine coming out of the house.......
They are definitely in a hardship, a heartbreak and a rock and a hard place I know I feel sorry for them at the same time I do not agree with some things they are doing.
AND as far as FORCING 22 year old Casey to tell them anything, sure ......Good Luck.
I believe your life is far more balanced then theirs I sure hope so and wish you joy from your children;
but I can tell you I have a severely Bipolar grown daughter and you cant force them to even take their medication. So we really do not know what may have worked with Casey, it does seem obvious that some professional help would have been required long ago.
Having said that, they are not easy to like, and harder to understand. They are
functionally dysfunctional which makes us expect them to act more normal, but more normal compared to what?
This entire case takes "normal" out of the equation.
I try hard not to judge them, and they do make that very hard.
But I swear I have NO CLUE what I would have done, they did NOT see this coming, they were as blind sided as we are, but they are living it and I do feel sorry that they have this much attention/invasion. It must make it even harder.
I watched all the videos this morning, none of her friends who did know her saw any of this coming, all said she was a good Mom. WHAT CHANGED I do not know.
I still say that Caylee had begun to speak and that scared Casey a lot in terms of keeping her bizzzzar secret life going on.
If Caylee started to identify a white dog, I wonder what else she may have identified.
