I think some of this is getting out of control, again; not just on this thread. A good deal of you are parents or grandparents. Yes, I think we'll all agree that if our daughters acted like KC we'd go crazy; if we acted like KC, we'd probably get our butts kicked. I know personally I'd probably be outcast.
But here's a story. A friend of mine was killed in a car accident. His mother couldn't pick him up from a party, so she arranged for him to take a cab home. Apparently the cab driver was high on drugs, flipped the cab, and my friend was killed.
To this day his mother is a wreck - she has started foundations in his name, volunteers on a full-time basis for MADD, etc. She flat out blames herself - she lives everyday thinking "it is my fault Matt died, if I only would have went to pick him up he'd be alive."
And this woman did NOTHING wrong. The facts were in front of her - her baby was gone. Isn't that the LAST THING in the world anyone would ever want to have to realize? Its reasonable for GA and CA to blame themselves for a lot more than Matts mother - Its reasonable for people in their situation to think everything from - "If I only stormed out after her on the 15th Caylee would be alive" ... to even the seemingly absurd "Could something in my environment have damaged my reproductive organs where I could physically create a killer?"
I do not think anyone is going to willingly take upon themselves that level of guilt - even if its a completely unconscious defense mechanism. We don't know how their inner minds work. Maybe CA is already borderline psycho, and the only grasp on reality she has is living in the past, 5 years ago when things seemed more normal.
I only really started thinking of this recently, because I know if that was me, I am so type A that I would be mapping out everything I've ever done in my life to figure out what went wrong that something so awful could happen to my family. So I think a little compassion, ESPECIALLY after GA admitted what no sane person would ever want to admit, to the GJ.
JMO, of course
