If you remember a few weeks ago, I asked if people thought if DB loved her daughter and I think I remember you answering 'yes' (if you didn't, I apologize). Do you think this scenario would be possible if you still believed that answer?
IF DB is an alcoholic, I believe she could cover this up and still love her baby. Why? Because an alcoholic loves alcohol more than they love anything else in the world, and they will defend and make excuses for their drinking. They will defend to the death that alcohol doesn't change them because admitting it would be admitting they have a problem - admitting they have a problem 1)makes them look bad 2) means they have to give up the drug that is, to them, what air is to the rest of us.
Listening to DB talk about what she feels is a normal progression when drinking (forget what happens, passing out, etc.), makes me think she is.
JI fought for his little boy, and for some reason, won. We haven't heard that the mother was a prostitute or a drug addict, or even an abusive mother. I do think he had something on her, just not what. The point is, he won.
DB may be a different story - she may be a great mother when sober, but neglectful when left to her own devices - he's always there to make sure the kids are ok, so it hasn't become a major issue - except for him. Maybe he wanted Lisa and not DB. Where I part ways with my JI had it done theory is, I can't come up with a possible follow-through. Where would he go once Lisa was safe somewhere - an island in the Pacific? Not feasible. Would he give her away for her own sake? Not seeing it.
Then Jeremy says they are closer now than they have ever been and I don't believe that for one minute. One or the other HAS to have enough brain cells to see how little sense this "kidnapping" makes. He says himself she was the only one there that night and therefore the only one under suspicion (paraphrasing), instead of how he knows DB and knows she is a good and loving mother and would never do something like this. He doesn't say it because he has to know, like the rest of us, a good mother would not put her sick child in bed at 6:40, get drunk, and never check on her again and the lie about it the next day. How can he even look at the woman who was too drunk to hear HIS precious baby girl being taken? Come on, he loses it over a stray cat and lights being left on and he doesn't lose it over that?
Only DB continually talks about what a good mother she is... who is she trying to convince, us or herself.
Back and forth, back and forth.
