You and I really think alike. LOL. Maybe we could take shifts and just cover for each other![]()
LOL. I'm right here with you!:Banane35:

I don't think denial has anything to do with anymore. I personally think they will never ever say that Casey did it, even though I believe in their hearts they know the truth. They don't want her in jail even if it's where she deserves to be. If she gets convicted they not only lost their granddaugther but their daughter.
I agree, somewhat. I do believe they will accept their daughter in jail...just will not accept the death penalty.
I don't know about how anyone else would feel in this situation and I certainly can't speak for anyone either, but I can speak for myself and I would float in the river before I testified about my own child in a way that would put nails in his coffin. No matter what and yes, in this situation as well. He IS my child. You can take that one to the bank.
Not all peeps feel this way and I think everyone is entitled to feel however they choose. We all were raised differently, different genetics, different values were taught or not taught to us, different lives ... even different children. Probably no wrong answer here for anyone. Just differences.
Also, I've always been of the opinion that if not for LP's histrionic heroics, this entire case made have played out differently. From what I've seen and heard of the man, he added nothing of value except to turn a tragedy into entertainment for the masses.Personally? I wouldn't want Leonard Padilla there either. He is arrogant and thinks he knows everything and seems to be suggesting quite strongly in the media that Krunk found the body via Casey to Lee. So why would the Anthony's want Padilla at the funeral? I don't blame them one iota.
I don't understand how anyone is shocked that they wouldn't want LP there. He is on TV every night crusifing them. I wouldn't want him there either. We complain that they should be quite, well so should he with all his theories. I personally think he came forward for the fame.

I am beginning to think people are actually finding that Cindy Anthony, the victim, as more horrendous than the criminal...Casey. This is mind boggling.
Yes, it is! I realize there are many here who ascribe to not saying anything unless you have something good to say, & I do respect that, but I have felt so strongly about the serious ramifications of CA's effect on her daughter, that I can't help but speak out...My opinion only! I wholeheartedly believe that KC needed to be stopped along time ago, curtailed, held accountable for all her actions & feel if she was, KC would have then felt Loved. I knew at once, at the Grand Jury hearing when Cindy said "KC is my best friend", that said it all! No, parents cannot be their child's best friend, they are their guardian, & protector, & need at times to protect them from themselves, not enabling bad behavior. I think it takes more energy to be this so-called warden in their upbringing, instead of turning a blind eye, the child knows deep down & loses respect for the parent & themselves!
Sorry if I'm going OT here, but these impressionable beings that we bring into this world are a Huge responsibility,& should never be taken lightly, we hold their future in everything we demonstrate to them.
I just cannot imagine. Especially once the court trial starts and the Anthony's have to testify. That would take a lot of ativan for me to even walk up those steps to that seat.....plus some. :no: talk about panic attacks and anxiety? This would be a for sure setting![]()

Personally? Yes. IF you were home when there are no more smaller children in the house that needed raised and spent your days gambling online while your husband worked and then you expected he pick up after your debts, came home and did the cooking and cleaning....then yeah. I would feel the same way about you as we feel about George. And when your husband would discipline your out of control daughter and you run to her side to coddle her and intervene as to create one against the other...then yes. I would feel the same way. Remember...this was 20 years worth of nothing that George did. For that matter...wasn't it clear to you that it was CINDY outside hammering in the no trespassing signs? You didn't find it odd that it wasn't GEORGE out there to protect his family? I did.
I understand what you are saying. Many have noticed this huge surge to hostility anew towards Cindy. You know like: Salem redux!!!! Peeps hadn't seen Casey for awhile, so this is the natural evolution of "give me even your children" I guess. Just natural probably
That's what disturbs me about this entire family dysfunction. "They don't want her in jail even if it's where she deserves to be." That pretty much sums it up.
Let's dial back the time clock to Casey's last round of stealing from the family pre-Caylee's demise: CA could have not paid back her parents for Casey's stealing and charges could have been pressed, but, awww, they did not want Casey to go to jail. Let's "fix" the problem with a band-aid solution. The underlying disease/evil/dysfunction (whatever your opinion of the matter) that causes Casey to steal, and lie, and manipulate is still there but the person wronged is placated (let's pay back GGma and GGPa).
Let's dial the time clock back further. We heard from George that Casey stole from Cindy's account and from their credit cards (BEFORE Caylee died). Were charges pressed? Nope. Why? Did they not want little Casey to go to jail, even if it's where she deserves to be? In my opinion they just maybe reemed her out, insulted her character, guilted her to death, threatened her and then did what they could do to pay back the money.
Let's dial it back again to the time (according to George) she allegedly "deposited" 4k of CA's money into the account but didn't, faked the deposit slip, and when called on it said that she was held up for the money! My God in Heaven!!! Is this not the time to see there is a serious and grave problem going on and address it?
According to GA Casey stole from Caylee's bank account (I'm assuming a college fund) and then wiped out the PIGGY BANK!
Let's dial the time clock back even further and speculate. Was this Casey's first foray into thievery? Did she steal from Lee as a child? Did she cheat on tests at school? Were these acts covered up as well like all the acts we've heard about that occured in the last years of Casey's life?
Listen, I don't BLAME CA and GA for Caylee's death. I don't think it's their FAULT 100%. But I do think that they nurtured, raised, coddled, and enabled their little "sweetheart" to be the dysfunctional train wreck we all see. They ALL played their parts in the dance. I'm sure someone was the "bad guy" and someone else played the "martyr", and so on.
And still, to this day, it appears to me that thinking that it may be sinking in that Casey KILLED Caylee...they still want to see her. Perhaps they still don't want her in jail, even if it's where she needs to be!!!
I think the opinions about the A family have always been there!
I can't speak for anyone else, but I was holding out an inkling of hope that once Caylee was FOUND and they understood she was DECEASED that they would see the truth.
I also never envisaged that she's be in a cardboard box at the funeral home almost a FULL MONTH after being discovered. They have leverage with Casey and if I was them I would USE IT to get that baby buried. NOW.
I disagree with being a best friend. You can be a parent and once the child is grown you can be best friends with them. I'm a grown adult and my mom is my best friend. Not only has she kept me on the right track, she has been there all along to through the good and back, she has always been there to help me, laugh with me and love me uncondionally.
