Pysche: Why SOME parents cover for their childrens' actions

[j2mirish]

It was a generality.

I did not mean "lie, cheat and steal" in a literal sense, I meant it as that most parents will go to extremes to protect their children. I do think that the Anthonys are pushing their luck, by incriminating themselves in what looks like a very serious crime, but I understand that their intentions are probably onlyto protect their child .

I thought you did-
and it doesnt matter what their intentions are- if my child did what theirs is suspected of doing--I would not be protecting him/her
apparently they should have been protecting the grandchild instead

I know that my parents went through LOTS with me in my late teens/early twenties. My mother could totally see through my fantasy life, even when I continued lying. There is NO WAY she would allow me to go THIS far . . . I would have broken by now.

This is a weird case... I am thinking that maybe because Casey lies that they are not in denial. I don't think they believe but say they do because they are afraid of loosing her also. I think everything they are doing is because they know she is going to be tried and everything they do in the media can go towards reasonable doubt. IMO. They have frogotten about Caylee so that their daughter will hopefully not go to prison for life.....Well you can X out all I said right there because if that is not denial I do not know what is.

I love it! Thanks for being so candid.

I sometimes wonder if they "know" she is going to jail for a long time but are creating or trying to create doubt to avoid the death penalty
