Yeah, I have to admit, I really thought long and hard about this the past couple of nights. Really did my soul searching after my son and I watched a game together. I think of how much I love and trust him with all of my heart, that deep in my heart, he would never do such a thing. Maybe SF feels the same way. Maybe she really is in denial and in pain herself. She not only lost a son now, but her granddaughter as well.
How would the rest of us mothers on here feel about this, if our sons were arrested for murder? Before, I was kind of spit crazy angry at her. Then the other night and last night, I just thought- could I ever believe my own son could do this? The one who I carried for 9 months, had fun raising him, my Boston sports buddy? He's not much younger than Patrick. I look at him and I just say, no way, I just couldn't believe he could do such a thing. I would need evidence. Real evidence. And that would do me in, once I realized he was truly guilty.
I guess what I am trying to say is, perhaps we have misjudged her. She could very well be suffering like hell. The anguish of a son in jail and your granddaughter taken away- I think her granddaughter was probably what kept her going every day.
For now, I'm going to back off of her, until we know for a fact that she might have helped cover up or had any hand in this. Just because it appears that she didn't like Kelsey, doesn't mean that she knew ahead of time his plans to kill her, nor does it mean she had anything to do with it before, during, and after. Patrick could have had her fooled, too. There's no evidence to suggest that this woman would approve of him or anyone killing Kelsey.
