Sister Mary Wanna
She's cold as ice: Three major events in a person's life have already happened to her in the last 8 months: The disappearance of a child in her care; a wedding; a divorce (pending).....Psychologists describe these major events as at the top of the list of stressors in a person's life, yet she has a flat affect. She should be rolled up in a ball nearly comatose, yet she's handling it with an aplomb that seasoned women cannot muster. She's lackadaisical about the pending divorce. It doesn't even register as a life changing event for her. It's an "oh well, maybe some time down the road we might get together again....."
Haleigh's disappearance is more upsetting in that they're looking at her LIES rather than at "the other side of the family". She has no more pooled eyes full of tears for Haleigh. She has a hint of anger that they would dare keep looking at her LIES.
"What is your fear for the future, when you look ahead?"
MISTY: "Just to get..bring Haleigh home. And have a normal life again."
"Do you worry about being arrested?"
MISTY: "I don't. I don't. I'm always being told different kinds of things, and I don't even pay attention to them."
She has only one fear: Haleigh coming home.
Wow Debs your post is compelling. You pretty well sum up my feelings. I did not see Misty appearance live this morning, but you seem to have watched closely and saw the deeper meaning of her address to the questions. You have a unique way of looking beyond what's said and what's really meant. I appreciate that.
The only thing I might disagree with is the part where she blames the other side of the family...to me, I saw that as her pointing the finger toward Ron's family, not specifically Crystal.
