A little bit of background here and why I am so hard on Cindy Anthony. I know that there are some websleuthers that know some of my story from during the trial in the chat room.
My mother is alot like Cindy and Casey Anthony. My mother (who's name also happens to be Cindy) uses everyone, including me-her own daughter. She is never wrong, even when the evidence is in front of her to prove that she is wrong. Nothing is ever her fault. She cheated numerous times on not only my father but her two husbands after him. Instead of admitting that she cheated, when caught, she said she was raped. She is/was in constant competition with me and every other woman that she knows. I had my first daughter when I was 25. As I sat in the hospital room the day after I delivered my daughter, she told me she was trying to get pregnant and wouldn't that be so cool. Instead she and husband number 3 adopted a little baby girl that was exactly 3 months older than my older daughter. When I became pregnant again at 30, she tried to adopt again but was turned down because of health issues. She has gone to therapy for many, many years. During one session she apparently told her therapist that I hated her because I didn't have a mother growing up. She said that I was in a bad relationship and that she felt it was her fault. The therapist called me and asked me to come in for a joint session with my mother, then I was told what all she had been claiming about me. The kicker of it all? I DID have a mom growing up, my wonderful step-mom who had been in my life since I was 6 years old. I DID have a wonderful relationship with my husband (still do) and we are very happy. I DO hate my mother but not because of her not being there, that was MY choice to break away from her. I hate my mother because I know what she is, the type of person that she is, the type of mother that she is. I know that she was NOT raised that way but something happened. She even had the nerve to accuse my grandfather (my dad's dad) of sexual abuse. This was after she found out from my grandmother that my aunt's husband tried things with me. She never said anything to me before that time, or my grandmother, or her therapist, or my father, or anyone else. She made it up so that she had a "similar" story that we could "bond" over.
So yes, I see Cindy Anthony much different than some people do. I can see the manipulation, the lies, the wheels turning in her head. I can see her thinking "What will make me look better?" I see all of that, but I do NOT see a victim.
Sorry for the rant, just trying to explain why I see Cindy the way I do.
