Tylee grew up in Lori world. Third parties from friends to social workers to police all commented on the fact that when things were kicking off between Lori and any of her partners, Tylee just seemed unbothered. Even when there had been screaming and violence. She grew up with her mother's disordered relationships and wild ideas. She wasn't shielded from all the cult stuff, she was immersed in it. And yes, she was a teenager, and yes, she butted heads with her at times, but there's plenty out there to suggest that she loved her mother and did her best to please her and tell anyone asking questions exactly what Lori wanted her to tell them. She'd been doing it since she was two or three years old. She said what she was told to say, she accepted her disordered, chaotic and unsettled life, she basically parented JJ when Lori had no patience for the 'drug baby', as she openly called him to friends and strangers alike, and she in all likelihood died not having done anything that could be considered going against Lori except exist.
She died as a dutiful daughter, who only a week before had seen her life uprooted yet again, had taken another of her deep breaths, wiped her tears and followed her mother to Rexburg.
