BBM.I think CA is "in denial" as part of a life-long coping mechanism AND "lying with purpose". These two are not mutually exclusive.
Denial IS lying, though the lie may have been "forgotten" long ago, it is still a lie however buried by time and pretense. Of course there are different kinds of lies, and with time lies change their consistency, but there is no distinction between "denial" and "lying", in my experience.
I am seeing both right now. She obviously had been in denial before Caylee was ever born (Casey's pregnancy at her brother's wedding). I feel that Cindy's denial is due to a conscious choice, on her part, to deceive others in order to protect her own self image. While regular denial is usually an avoidance of the truth (because it's too painful), hers is more self serving, IMO.
