Calming down now after reading tonight's bombshells. What a night.
Reminding myself that so far we know of only 2 crimes:
- lying to police offers and
- illegal drug use/purchase.
We don't know if there is any direct crime against HD at this point and we can still hope she ran to get away from her sad home life. She could be alive. There is still also the possibility that her desire to stay away from the house and wander about made her more vulnerable to a random abduction (not likely, imo, but possible).
I think the reason that I feel so angry with BD right now is her victim mentality. I'm convinced that she's a narc addict - since her second interview. - and I guess that lack of personal accountability goes with it? The skewing of information and selective memory on BD's part is old news in this fast-paced case (though some think it could be denial or unintentional - understandable to think so). Here's the thing though, whatever happened, HD is the victim. HD is the victim. HD is the victim, not BD (unless this turns out to be a random abduction).
BD made choices to bring danger into HD's life. She chose to bring a man who is almost as close in age to her son as he is to her (which would be okay if he was mature and the kids felt secure with him). She chose to have this young man who threatened to kill her family members and gives her daughter the creeps living in her home and alone with her kids. Even if I could throw out the weird crime books and the NY Eve party as irrelevant, she knowingly put her children in serious danger for a guy. Yet,she says she thinks she's a wonderful mother and she makes statements as if she's the victim of LE, the victim of NG (who I think was overly soft on her), the victim of ridiculous gossip, the victim of people telling the truth about HD's life when interviewed, the victim of bad things that CD might do in the future... That for some reason irks me to no end and scares me for HD. I sure hope she really feels that this is about HD and not her. If HD really is alive and hiding, I pray she is not returned to her mother's care without proof that major changes have been made to ensure a safer environment. I also hope that BD is really sincere in wanting HD found safely and that's why she's been on NG and going public. I hope like crazy her actions haven't been to cover up a crime, get attention and/or reel in donations.
