I'm trying to play devil's advocate here and give grandma the benefit of the doubt.
Her daughter takes away the baby 5 weeks ago or so, she is crushed by this. Then when she finds out the child is missing, and her daughter the main suspect, this is enough to push her over the edge.
In the interviews I've seen, the grandmother seems rather manic and disorganized, maybe she is just on the edge of sanpping and that's why she is so abrupt? I really don't think grandma is involved in the child's disappearance. And she wants to cling to whatever her daughter tells her, because to not believe her daughter is to accept that the child is dead.....
Same here...part of me thinks that the reason grandma is being so frantic/snappy is that she really does believe that casey has hurt caylee, and is snapping...
ugh, i would hate to be in her shoes. I'm sure she feels really helpless, and doesn't know what to do. I mean, on one hand, you are absolutely devastated about Caylee, and it sounds like maybe she feels like she is kind of at fault for Casey doing whatever she did, so she might feel like she wants to protect her daughter, too...
I hate all of the lying and coverup, because it makes grandma not seem credible, but I can understand why she would feel the need to do it, I guess. It's just upsetting because she wants the public's help, but I personally feel that the public is more responsive to help someone that they feel is being honest, and the public might feel that if we could get HONEST answers (out of Casey) about where and when Caylee was last seen, we could really make a difference...but with none of that being provided, people start to suspect a wild goose chase, and might be reluctant to trust her...which is sad, because the little girl DOES need to be found, either way...
I hurt for Grandma, even if she is snapping at the press, etc. It's easy for me to SAY what I would do in that situation, but in reality...we just never know how we will react mentally, physically, etc.
Sad all around
I am irritated at the daughter, though.
