yes, please do some googling, it would be under such tops as grief. Crystal did not experience a core level loss as Ron and family who were actively supporting and tending to Haleigh on a daily basis. "Daily" will be a key word in core level.
A core level loss is the type of loss that effects your everyday acitivities, your lifestyle, the way you function, how much groceries you buy, how many loads of laundry you do per week, etc.... Ron is the one that lost everything when Haleigh disappeared. That is just a fact whether people want to accept that or not.
The core level loss has nothing to do with what member or persons status is to an individual. I in no way disparaged Crystal as you would have it come across. It's not my fault the truth is the truth, I just made a simple statement that Ron is the one with that core level grief effecting his daily functions.
I lost my Granny October 4th, but it didn't effect how many times I clean the hair brush out. Or how many pork chops I have to fry for supper, or how much money is coming into my home. Though I miss Granny and loved her with all my heart, I still get up the same way every morning, at the same time and do the same routines. Didn't effect my core level of existence.
The core level loss would have more to do with yoru emotional state...the ability to function is not necessarily realtive to your custody status...more the trauma and the effect it has upon you.
I do not believe that Ronald Cummings ever did laundry, bought groceries (oh yeah, he did buy beer, ciggies and peanuts) or cared for those children's daily needs. He had other females do that for him. First Crystal, then Amber, then Misty and whenever necessary TN and GGM.
You may not have had what you call a core level loss when you lost your Granny, others may find themselves unable to function and get up at all upon losing a sibling or a child, even one they are not the primary custodial parent of...not being her psychiatrist...I do not think you or I are qualified to assess what type of loss it is or how it affects Crystal. If you are talking daily duties...it has never been proven that RC did one of them.
