Okay I have so many thoughts I don't even know where to start:
1) If Lori was such a good mother, she would not have moved her kids all over God's green acre for whatever reason. Yes, people are forced to move for jobs to provide for their family or to move closer to their family of origin for assistance of support. Not because you are hiding and deceiving or believing in some stupid fairy tale. Then if you have options of where to move, you usually research first WHAT IS BEST FOR THE KIDS? A special school that would be the right fit for JJ? Higher education options for Kylee? Lori DID NONE OF THAT! Stability is vital for kids growing up, especially JJ with autism.
2) If Lori was such a good mother, she would do EVERYTHING to encourage close relationships with extended family, i.e., her family of origin, your kids' dads and their families, their church families (children's ministry, youth groups, etc.) You want them to have a solid support system from others whom you value and trust so they have someone to go to for guidance. It's obvious Lori was NOT close to her family no matter the BS the Cox family tries to spew. Maybe Alex and Melani but only it seems right there at the end. It does not sound like she really wanted Annie involved with Tylee as far as facilitating summer visits or frequent in-person visits. We KNOW how Lori treated Joe & Charles & Kay & Larry. It is never acceptable to dis your ex to your kids. NEVER. My dad was a deadbeat, in and out of our lives, no show, no pay, etc. My saint of a mom made excuses for him (oh, he can't take you to Disneyland because he has to work) because she realized one day I would see the truth which I did. And I respected her even more to let me make up my own mind without her influence. I cannot imagine how hard it was for her but when I divorced, I talked about about my daughter's dad all the time. Making sure she called and texted every big event, helping facilitate surprises for him, Father's Day, birthdays, etc. (This applies to MP & IP as well.)
3) Whatever this belief system that they claim is, IT IS BS! I don't know LDS at all but as a Christian, if I start to read/hear/learn about anything that is not in line with what I accepted when I made the commitment as an adult, that I can not find or clarify in scripture, I seek counsel of those more mature in their faith than mine. (Which scripture tells us to do.) If they agree that something is out of line, I don't storm off and say "Well that means I can't be with the one I love so you must be wrong."
4) We are reminded in Matthew that God says the greatest commandment is to love Him with your whole heart and the second is to love people. NOTHING Lori & Chad have done show any respect for that direct command from God. Their faith is inauthentic. What I do know of LDS is they value family over everything but Lori & Chad only seem to drag their families along as baggage until they are no longer needed then they casually discard them without concern for them or others in their lives. So much for the discarded ones' free agency!
5) Finally, if Chad and Lori have destroyed thousands of zombies in their closet portal, how come they couldn't rid themselves of Charles and Tammy that way? Was the portal how they disappeared JJ & Tylee? Oh, well then, why didn't they just say so. That explains everything.
Sorry so long. All of this is my own opinion which has no basis in anything but my utter shock that we are six months later and STILL NO ANSWERS ON JJ & TYLEE!
