KC's Pregnancy/Denial (Merged Threads)

[LinasK]

I thought there would be free clinics (provided by organizations such as PP or other pro-choice groups) to perform abortions, in the US and avoid "unwanted" or "neglected" children.

F.Y. I., they may be called "free clinics", but abortion services aren't free...

CA denying the pregnancy put a stop to folks wanting to talk about it. After asking and her saying no, what else is there to say? I mean, when your looking at that belly, and they are denying it. Seriously? Polite manners, you just ignore the situation and talk about something else.

CA knew her daughter was prego. She just didn't want to talk about it.

I was watching some clips of testimony today and when CA and GA were talking about the time when ICA was pregnant and none of what they were saying rang true or seemed believable to me. JB had a point about him asking ICA who the father was. What father doesn't ask that??? And even if he deferred to CA to find out, he didn't say that. And Cindy wants us to believe she was just thrilled with ICA being pregnant and they went right out and bought baby furniture and she threw her a shower? I don't ever remember hearing anything about ICA having a baby shower, anyone know if she really did?

I think it would be perfectly normal for CA and GA to be somewhat upset that ICA is pregnant and also perfectly normal for them to ask who the father is, but they both made it seem like they were both just thrilled as soon as ICA told them and just never questioned anything. I wonder why they want us to think that?

I was thinking about this too, the only thing I could come up with in my own mind is that they knew they would not get a straight or truthful answer, and so walked on eggshells..trying not to rock the boat, trying not to upset their little princess.

Bizarre I know, but the whole family is bizarre!

They also lied when saying ICA was 6 to 7 months along. (GA said they found out in May to June) CA revealed the actual date to be June 30 2005 - Just 5 weeks and 5 days before Caylee's full term birth.

I do recall talk of the baby shower the week after Caylee was born - CA gave ICA a collage frame with pictures of newborn Caylee. I believe this was a Greta interview way back when.

The bio-father talk is way out there - do they not want to discuss believing Jesse was bio-dad? RG accused CA of trying to deceive Jesse, wanting him to sign the BC without the DNA paternity test.

I think this can be explained by the fact that living with a sociopath is a lot like walking on a thin line at all times. I have done it. You do not argue with them, you do not upset them, you do not confront them. Even though you would think a normal parent/child relationship would allow for some confrontation, I am sure ICA made sure that her parents knew not to question her and they knew that it would eventually come out so keep the paeace at all costs. It looks absolutely ridiculous from the outside but for those on the inside, you HAVE to. She did this same thing with the graduation- telling them on the day of the party and the kidnapping story as Cindy was calling the police and now her final curtain call, the defense opening statements on the day of her death penalty trial. Par for the ICA course for me and I think very good evidence of her sociopathy.

Shoot, the defense says KC was taught to lie, and I say the Anthony's were programmed to look away. KC's like a devilish dictator, a despot-- she's a budding psychopath. So, do they press an issue, no, they wait until it can be a "happy" thing.

We've all seen them react to her, it's incredible-- they're afraid of her. jmo

 

[NORCALGRL]

This is what I have believed too. I think they just tried to get through each day or week without Casey throwing a fit (I think the one she showed in court was just one of many in her life) and if everyone was "getting along" they weren't going to rock the boat. Cindy and George probably knew Casey was pregnant and had come to terms with it, they just figured that at some point Casey would tell them on her own. I could see Casey wearing baggy clothing up until the wedding and then pick that occasion to wear something that showed her condition; putting her mother in the position of being confronted with it in front of a family and strangers. She knew her mother would not have it out with her in public. She did the same with graduation, wait until there is a party and come clean...I think Casey likes humiliating her parents.

 

[allycat1208]

I remember thinking also that it was odd that both CA and GA were both so elated of KC's pregnancy. I can only think both CA and GA gave answers in their testimony to the effect that they were happy for KC so it would not make it appear that Caylee was unwanted by either of GA or CA and Casey herself. If either of CA or GA seemed like they did not want Caylee it would give reason to also think that Casey would feel pressured by her parents to feel the same way.

This ^^

And, no one can say that George and Cindy didn't go all out for Caylee... I think she was a chance for joy, and unfortunately, that may indeed have been part of KC's motive.

In all honesty, I have to admit that when I got pregnant at age 19, my dad didn't ask me who the father was. I mean, yes I was in a "relationship" but we didn't really communicate like that, so I can see GA not asking her but sorta leaving it up to CA. Just my personal experience.

Exactly and IMO, Cindy did not owe her brother or anyone else [save her husband] an explanation or acknowledgement of her daughter's obvious pregnancy.

 

[tasylshari]

the pregnancy....along with everything else ICA was allowed to get away with during her lifetime....was just another one of those "things" that was easier to simply accept/tolerate/ignore/wash away/forget/walk away from and not bother DEALING WITH for GA and CA.

Fight or flight - - - and the A's consistantly and constantly chose the latter. Too bad for Caylee in the end as they are sadly reaping that which they sowed. Poor Caylee was Inmate Casey Anthony's innocent, beautiful pawn.

ICA always (!!!!!) got her way UNTIL July 15th that is.

 

[Hisimage]

I think ICA could and would make life just miserable if she wanted. Because of this I think Cindy did what she could to soften the blow for everyone involved. I think Cindy would tiptoe around until she had enough, would blow and then once again back down. She was probably afraid ICA would do something drastic if she called her out on the pregnancy so she went a long for a while.

Did not ring true to me either. When first told that she was pregnant I just don't see them as being elated. Shocked or a little surprised at least,and a bit worried would be a normal reaction. What parents of a single girl with a minimum wage job and few prospects think that an unplanned pregnancy is a good development for her or the coming child?

That's true- those things are women talk, but CA must have asked..

 

[Wise Old Owl]

ITA especially since CA said on the stand that her and ICA would exchange "personal information" concerning each other's "cycle". How could you be THAT close to your daughter and then NOT ASK about the father? KWIM?

I actually do know of some, I even had one friend in high school whose mom wanted her to have a baby so badly. She wanted a grandchild.

[Pink Panther]

The family is completely dysfunctional and there is no way around it. We have spent countless hours here in disbelief about their bizarre behaviors, actions and decisions and lies. Definitely lots of weird stuff here. Stuff that JB will bring up to try and explain what KC did.

I don't think it's a justification for KC murdering her daughter but he is a Defence lawyer and that is the only chance she has.
