I appreciate what you're saying. I too was a caretaker for my father who died of cancer. I well know the toll it takes. But I have little compassion for Jean.
See, we do have a way of knowing what's happened the last year. The attorneys for Mr. Kasem and for his children have done nothing wrong. It is well documented what all the parties, the attorneys, the court, etc., have done in the last year. It is not a he said she said. There are too many people in addition to the parties in this case, such as Mr. kasem's brother, his sister in law, and all his long-term friends, who have attested that Jean has always been possessive, jealous and controlling and alienated all of them 33 years ago. These same people have all attested that the moment Mr. Kasem became incapacitated, she cut off contact.
That's cruel. Perhaps she has a mental disorder but if so, while it could have been exacerbated by her husband's illness it certainly wasn't caused by it.
I actually don't think, though, that her actions are those of a burdened wife. I think the are the actions of a crazy person who wanted to for years and finally was able to make sure none of the people she disliked had access to what was hers - Mr. Kasem.
It is the height of cruelty to keep a dying man and his family, his children, apart. She did that. Not them.
