I am still holding out hope that the Anthony's are in a strong denial. I think different parents are different (lol that sounds silly).
Like my mom for example, she would stand by me hard and furious but it wouldn't take her very long to realize my chit wasn't jivin' and it would be all hades to pay.
Once the jig was up, I would want to be in jail rather than deal with her fury! No kidding. Though, I wouldn't have gotten away with having my kid off like Casey did, had I no home and had previously lived at home with my child.
She would want to see a home that my child and I were staying in, and she would hunt me down until she found me, I couldn't have put her off on the phone. Certainly not for 31 days.
I also realize there's other types of mothers ones more like Cindy. They stand hard and furious behind their kids but they don't want to see the wrong in their child. They can't.
There's always a reason for something, benefit of the doubt is given too easy. Trust handed out and not taken away as deserved. They just keep on giving even when the giving is actually hurting their child. I know a mom like this (no not Cindy) but will leave it generic.
I can't say what's right because it's love. A heart will do what a heart has to do. I think Cindy wants her family back, she wants yesterday. She's still not awakened from this nightmare, she's traveling in a fog. I think she misses Caylee something awful. I don't think they meant anything bad/underlying by those tee's with butterflies.
Perhaps Caylee loved butterflies and I'm sure Caylee was their 'angel' and the "fly home angel" just goes with butterflies. Maybe they do think she's been flown off somewhere with someone, and they are sending a message to fly her home? They are beautiful tee's and they have a beautiful grandbaby.
The Today Show Cindy was on with Baez, she looked so worn out and so out of it. She was puffy and looked as if she had been crying a river of tears the night before. I noticed her weight loss the 1st visit her and George made to the jail together. She's not a happy woman, she's a lost woman.
She stood up day after day and has taken a good lashing for it. Yes, some stuff she has said I've found...well off-color, not honest etc. I've thought some of her comments etc is doing nothing to help her grandbaby, Caylee. But I just see a mother who is in a corner and lashing out protecting her family.
I wish Casey had more of that quality. I think Casey is more like George, weaker, not a strong work ethic. He's still child like in some of his ways, imo. He lashes out (prone to tantrums), he likes his sporty cars and mentioned losing his car was something he would do-- to have it all right (seemed teen like to me on the car, a house now, that's something) He loses the job and drives around with a billboard.
The little respect Casey shows her mother is something I'm starting to suspect she learned from her father, watching his tantrums (though I really felt for him). It would appear Cindy has taken on most of the burden supporting the family, straightening out the tantrums and doing damage control.
Family pictures it always seems George is sittin' somewhere on the sofa. The 1st interview I saw of him was slouched in the sofa. His last memory of seeing Casey and Caylee, he was sittin' on the sofa doing what he does everyday, watching his favorite cooking show. I just don't see losts of support for Cindy.
I'm no Cindy 'fan' but I think she's been pulling this wagon so long she just doesn't know how to stop. I feel for her and am trying to give the benefit of the doubt. I think when she wakes up and realizes that yesterday isn't coming back and everything is said and done, she will never go back to pretend. jmo
