Sociopaths have been quite the topic of conversation on TruTV lately and the folks who have studied sociopaths believe that a sociopath is born that way and not made by anyone to be like that. I'm inclined to agree.
I think that it can go both ways ~ born, and learned, or Casey's case, possibly by reaction to actions in the home.
In any event, it was recognized, as told by Cindy to a number of Casey's friends, and, as her parent, it was her responsibility to get her daughter help, at any age, esp given that Casey then had a child that would be at risk.
I find it hard it to believe that Casey just woke up one day, after having had Caylee, and was bonkers.
Cindy always worked, and, probably always had health insurance for Casey while she was a minor, that would have provided the help that was needed.
One thing that always has struck a raw nerve with me, was that Cindy did seek therapy sessions through her job.
They provided 3 free sessions, same as a job that I once had. It was provided to the employees as a pre-emptive, kind of "get it together" thing, and it cost nothing for those intiall sessions.
If more were required, then, it went to your insurance and you were then responsible for the payment or deductables.
Cindy never followed up after those first sessions that have been talked about.
I realize that money was tight, but I cannot cut her ANY slack in that department.
Being a parent, and being overly "insurance scared", we ALWAYS had policies, even at one time having 2 through both my job that was free, and my husbands, that we paid a huge premium for.
Thank God we did, because our eldest required brain surgery at the age of 18, and, truethfully, 15yrs later, I can't even give a monetary amount of what we paid out then, and what he has paid since, and still paying on.
Cindy HAD insurance.
Something should have been done, and it wasn't, and as a result, Caylee "paid for it".
And, that really, really p*ss*s me off to no end.
I had bills to and we lived paycheck to paycheck, and some bills went late, but, my main concern always was my childrens health and well-being.
{sorry for the rant}
IMO lol I have found that the IMO is the best way to move forward in these threads. And rightfully and respectfully so after each sentence. IMO I realize it butchers my text and takes away some of my ability to get the point across, but it is well worth it to move forward to get to the truth for Caylee. IMO
