Id stand by my son. I'd need a lifetime supply of Xanax...but I'd be there for him.

Jodi's family are victims too... Her dad broke my heart the day he was in court.

I feel bad for his family right now, and have made no decisions of hers yet. If they believe her, then I don't feel bad and tend to think she is mentally ill because that runs in the family so they don't think there is anything wrong with her.

If they are simply supporting her as their daughter, their sister, fine, but stop the giggling. It's inappropriate beyond words

I would like to keep living in fantasy land and thinking they are horrified at what she did and wish they could speak to Travis' sisters and brothers but they just can't right now. They can't do that during their daughters trial.

If she were my sister, I would be sitting on the other side hoping she is not getting out because she would scare the daylights out of me. I'd visit her behind glass telling her "OMG i wish you could come home!" doing that hold my hand to the glass to touch her (crossing my fingers with my other hand saying Jesus please don't let her out, i''m skeered...)

Loving a psychopath can leave one feeling hopeless and helpless. I can't imagine having a child who is one and not being able to walk away to save yourself. (Though some parents eventually are forced to do just that.)

However, I see a distinct difference between support and enabling. Jodi's mother trespassed that line, imo, when she attempted to sell those letters to the Enquirer.

I have an immense amount of compassion for her family because I know what its like...but when one is faced with overwhelming proof that a loved one is 'ill' and they still continue to ignorantly propagate that 'illness' it dampens my sympathy too.

MOO

Without going into details I have a child who had some legal issues when she was a teenager. Did I abandon her and make her deal with it on her own? No. I attended all of her court procedures with her.

The difference is, once I got to the bottom of what happened and fully understood what she was guilty of I MADE her accept responsibility for her actions and admit to everything that she did to her attorney and the judge - so that she could also accept her punishment.

IMO that is what a mom with good moral values does when their child does bad things in order to teach your child the difference between right and wrong and why we need to follow the rules.

She is now an upstanding citizen who has given me the greatest joy ever...my grand.

I would feel alot worse for JA's mother and aunt if they would stop all of the smiling, laughing, smirking and chatting during this horrific trial. I didn't see that out of her dad, brother and sister when they were there. :banghead:

I fully believe as adults, if you have a child that reminds you of Jodi, or has deep issues, issues that have haunted you and your family for years, caused you great heart ache and emotional pain, you must be allowed to separate yourself from the fact you gave birth to them or fathered them.

There is a tendency to take on the child's deeds but I feel you need to give yourself the freedom not to do that. As a parent there are times when you must understand you are not to blame for every flaw in the child you knitted stitch by stitch...

I don't think you should give yourself a life sentence, you can dislike a child of yours. Because if you don't look at your children realistically you put MY life in danger.. These moms or dads that beg for them to be let out, you are sentencing an innocent person out there to death.

 

[basilcat]

Does anyone remember the name of the guy that Jodi met with, whose parents also owned a restaraunt when she was growing up in Yereka...?
It was mentioned briefly by Juan, but I can't remember if she met him in salinas or not.
I think there may be more to the restaraunt biz than we know...and this guy from her past...where does he fit into all of this?
Just wondering..
Thanks.

I don't doubt that it's her sister. But the wolf and the riding hood I think are fake. jmo

The original is from Jodi's grandmother's profile and it's of Angela. The photo doesn't look fake to me--in fact I saw it before Jodi ever brought up her supposed "tied to a tree and sodomized while dressed like Little Red" fantasy that Travis tried to force on her. Like most of her lies, she roots them in some fragment of reality.

imo, it's one thing to do that when the consequence is probation or even a jail term, but maybe quite another when your child is facing the death penalty. I honestly can't say what I'd think, do or feel if I were Jodi's mother. It's beyond my wildest imagination.

It would probably take me sitting through the trial and all the evidence before I'd accept my son was guilty of something so horrid.... Jodi's mother doesn't know all of the evidence. Her daughter is facing death. I don't envy her and I'm not ready to judge.

I'm one of those people that uses humor to hide pain and tears. Even in extreme situations when my arm was broken and looked like the letter z... I was cracking jokes... Well, after the morphine drip.... I was funnier

Um. Not to complain or anything, Nurse, but I think you might have been spending too much time staring at our Super Juan. (Or drinking.)

Went thru something similar with my youngest son when he was in high school. He and some other students stole some money from the band hall. When I found out we made him pay it back and apologize. The other students were not held accountable and went on the get in further trouble. My son now has a degree in criminal justice and is a very responsible adult and wonderful parent. I will love my children no matter what, but will always hold them accountable for their actions!

The original photo with the wolf and riding hood is from her grandmother's fb? Is that what you're saying?

The guy she slept on his floor after driving an hour and a half to confront Bianca and "fell asleep" then was too tired so she crashed on his bedroom floor?
