It's not easy, because as a parent you know that you are responsible for your child and how they grow up.
We spent our life savings on help for our daughter....so many treatment programs, regular counseling would not work. I can't tell you how many times people looked at us like it was our fault. Our daughter was very, very good at what she did.
Do you know how many family members are now telling us they are sorry? It's bitter to accept now.
This case reminds me of something our family is saying to us now.
"do you want to FORCE your daughter to be a mother"......I think this is what George and Cindy did. And I understand it, I really do. You keep providing assistance, hoping that things will get better, but the older the kids get the worse it gets. A new born baby is easy to take care of compaired to a 2-3 year old running around, asking for stuff, having to watch 24/7. This is the age alot of parents break who have issues.
But, once this daughter came up with this bullcrap story of her daughter being kidnapped, this family should have come out in full force to try and find out what happend, not continue to go along with this story the daughter was telling.
If this child was alive, if they had come out sooner possible the out come might be different- maybe not, but at least they would have helped find there grandaughter sooner and put this nightmare to rest.
I can't understand Cindy.......her actions lead me to think that she is the one who has always made excuses for her daughter and I really hesitate to even say that due to my story. But I just don't see the outrage from her that once again her daughter has totally gone off the deep end.
I think all grandparents have had the talk with our kids along the line of "time to grow up now, you have kids". We did.......but with the birth of our grandkids our daughters behavior and lies grew worse because she now had to lie so much more about what was going on with the kids, lies that were totally off the wall.
Of course she used the kids as pawns, would not let us see them, we prayed and prayed that the kids would be ok. But when they were taken from her and she lied to authorities that we did not even live in the same town and the kids were placed in an emergency foster care shelter we knew then without a doubt that she was in no way responsible for making decesions for these kids that would keep them safe.
Foster Care is every parents worst nightmare........we knew why she lied, she did not want us to even find out about any investigation. She was only thinking of herself, not her kids.
And this is exactly how Casey is, she will stick to her story, or come up with a totally different one which will have the police running around again.
She denied the visit with her brother out of anger, she thinks they have betrayed her. Her anger is only for herself now, not for her child.. That's why in that one visit who heard her say "All anyone really cares about is finding Caylee"............that right there tells you that she has no emotional bond with her child. She was playing mommy to get what she could out of it, now that they child is gone she has no use for her family.
They're doing the best they know how. There is no script, no instructions, for a situation like this. And they are likely very embarrassed for putting so much stock, publicly, in Casey's words.
