Thank you. I have so much respect for the mothers and fathers who raise a child with mental disorders. Many times these parents don't get to enjoy the typical pleasures of a normal child b/c these parents are constantly battling this disease which leaves them emotionally, physically and financially drained.
As to Cindy, I just can not give her the benefit of the doubt of loving her children. If we were to step back and review Cindy's mothering skills I don't think we would see a authenticate sense of love. It just seems that Cindy's purpose in life was to out do both George's and her own family financially and place in society. She was so caught up in her own personal dreams and wishes her children were merely props to project this idea life she wanted.

Hi NS
I think CA and GA should pay the piper for what they have done to get rid of evidence
that would bring justice to Caylee's senseless death, but I think they did it because they
DO love her. Dysfunctional as they are.
My daughter at KCs age was not diagnosed yet, we just thought it was a bad attitude and yes we
had been to doctors but she walked out on each one of them.
I knew it was more then bad attitude, but it took years till she finally got diagnosed.
Sometimes we can all sit down and you may not know there is a problem. Other times it is no fun.
Mostly for her.
I do not think KC was diagnosed, but early on I said she can be bipolar and something else?
I do not think we know.....I do not think CA knew, I can see that CA is a piece of work herself,
but CA does love her Daughter. Their family dynamics are way out there, and their family moral
code may not exist. but CA wanted it to look sane to the outside world because it was insane
in her inner world...I do understand that.
You are totally correct Thank you for noticing
we do not get to enjoy the simple pleasures of a child's normal growth and mile stones.
But every good day is a big smile. (FOR CA maybe Caylee was the joy that KC was not,
because she did so many bad things - as mine did too
)
And being spent emotionally, mentally and financially is one of the symptoms.
but we sometimes get depressed too. And not everyone who knows me knows my story, because
to the world at large work/social etc.... I have to be like all the others.
For many years if anyone asked me how are you or your daughter , I have a smile big enough to
light a Christmas tree, and with that smile I would say "FINE". It is only in the past 10 years that
I sometimes say "could be better" there was no use to wear my story on my sleeve. It was enough
that I know it.
