I'm coming out of lurkerdom (if that's a word) to post in this sad thread.
Do I hope GA gets some mental help? yes
Do I feel sorry for GA? eh, not so much.
I do feel bad that he has lost a granddaughter due to the product he helped raise. But I have a hard time feeling sorry for suicide "attempts".
Before I get flamed let me add that my daddy committed suicide on May 11, 1999...3 days after his 41st birthday.
If someone wants to commit suicide they do it. They don't call and text people to let them know that's what they are doing.
I do feel bad that KC has led this family down this path. But GA is an adult and he has made some less than stellar choices lately. It's time for him to own up to them. No matter what happens to the rest of the family.
By the way, my name is Carmen and I'm sorry if I offend anyone with my first post.
Welcome to WS Carmen! And what a courageous first post!
I am soooo sorry to hear about your father.....I also dealt with suicide in my family, but can't talk about it, almost 30 years later.
Whilst I pray for George and really hope he gets better soon, I don't feel much differently to the way you do. I certainly don't wish George any harm, and hope he recovers quickly. But he is an adult, it seems it was a cry for help rather than a desire to die that inspired this (which is a good thing) and all I really hope for in this case is justice for Caylee, and so far, imo, the family has really let her down in that regard. And to me justice certainly doesn't mean death or ill health for George....of course I don't want that. But I would like to see him come clean with authorities and think he would feel much better if he did.
Someone has to really help this man....and selling Missing Caylee t-shirts is not the answer. They need to do the best they can to return to some sort of normalcy, instead of continuing with t-shirt sales, planning to make a living out of the missing children business, and things like that. It's like everyone is so interested in making money out of this, that no one is properly addressing and counselling him through the normal grieving process. Sadly many people deal with extreme grief at some point in their life, and this man needs some help recovering and returning to normal life as best he can.
I should also add that I think it's time BC chooses between his clients or withdraws all together. George needs separate representation in my opinion.
I sure hope we hear George is in better spirits today and getting the help he needs. It is nice to know he is with and under the care of people who don't have dollar signs in their eyes and will only care about getting him better.
