It could be that GA has always been the emotional softie and CA had to wear the "responsibility hat" whether she liked it or not. SOMEONE in the family HAD to be the responsible adult and it seems she is the only one who worked continuously and had a 401K. In real life we know that at least one parent has to be in control of themselves long enough to hold down a job otherwise the family floats around, homeless. With the responsibility resting on her shoulders, she had 2 adults and a baby to provide for and well as herself. Don't even count the dogs and cats or thte fact that the marriage survived bankruptc(y) and gambling issues. It's made her tough and her life has been no picnic in the park but she has kept her family together and has forgiven them time and again.
She is protecting GA because of his soft heart which is broken, a fact written in the lines of his face. She is protecting her daughter because she, CA, really will not make it if KC is imprisoned on death row. She knows her grandchild is gone and to lose both of them will in fact kill her and GA. They will simply die of grief. She is fighting for all of their lives and will lash out at all who attack, holding tight to her family against all comers. Maybe some of you can understand her position, if only in theory. Jackie P. understood it in an up close and personal way. So did Patsy and JR. You have no doubt seen reality cop shows, where the mother of a wanted criminal battles armed police so her child can escape through the back door, free, if only for a while. The thought of their child in prison is too much for them to bear. It would be for me. I would much prefer my own death than the pain I would endure with my child in prison. They haven't invented the medicine to cure that one yet.
She is terrified-angry and she is fighting. Just because I am sick of all her excuses, crazy explanations, wide-eyed denials, castings of blame, accusatory allegations, political conspiracy theories, hatred for LE, hatred for the media who have never been quite able to capture a plea to the kidnappers coming from the mouth of any Anthony, hatred for anyone who wants-to-poke-around-in-the-woods-for-a-body-despite her-excited-utterance-of-"the dam* car smells like a dead body" on 7/15 and her antics in the yard, doesn't mean I don't get what she is doing. I do. It is just that when I hear and see all of this I think of little, helpless Caylee and all the other little, helpless Caylees out there and the Circus makes me sick.
There are no winners here, everyone loses. Take for example TonE. Try getting on in life when your new, hot girlfriend turns out to be a cold-blooded child murderer and you had not a clue about her real nature. That is a life-altering event in itself, if I must say. If you can't empathize, what if it were a man who was the lying, manipulative, baby killer and a young woman who thought she found herself a great guy with a cute little boy? Can you spell trauma? He is just one of so many who's lives were changed for the worse because they were unlucky enough to befriend this person, KC.
And for those who have tried to imply that because of the recent NV kidnapping by "Mexican Drug Dealers" we should reconsider KC's statement and behavior, I remind you that the NV mother crawled out of the house with a chair duct-taped to her and screamed for someone to call the police; her child had been taken. She didn't think twice about the personal trouble she was in with the Gang or LE. She wanted her child back.
Unlike the NV woman, KC waited 31 days and then had to be dragged off of the sofa and out of her boyfriend's house, threatened with charges of grand theft auto and identity theft, driven around for hours, parked in a police station parking lot, confronted by her parents and her brother before she said a word about a kidnapping. And of course, that word was a lie.
The NV woman told LE everything even though she implicated herself in significant crime or two.
As someone once stated and I thought it was profound enough to remember, "innocent people do not lie to police about where they work when their child is missing."
