Ever the victim.
Cali, you said it perfectly. It always comes back to that.
I was just looking over the excerpts again, and another one that struck me was when Kate was talking about how much she (Kate) was suffering and how she hoped Madeleine wasn't suffering as much.
Wouldn't you think that no matter what Madeleine would be suffering more? At least Kate had the rest of her family and her home to return to--but not Maddie! She's totally removed from everything and everyone, if she has indeed been abducted! How on earth could she be suffering LESS than Kate? What a ridiculous Kate-centered assumption again.
That was one of the most selfish comments I have ever heard. They think that a 3 year old could be with paedophiles & Kate questions her degree of suffering? :furious:
If I were in this situation, my diary would be full of "whatever was I thinking when I left all three of my precious babies alone" and "how could I have been so stupid".
The true softness in her words seems to be whenever she writes about the twins - but not when she writes about Maddie IMO.
Sadly Texana, I do think those comments (& the "floodgate") were faked for public consumption! Any mother who could not send a direct message to her missing daughter when asked on television to do so, in my book has no genuine feelings for that child. Remember her reply? - "She knows we love her" Any genuinely grieving parent would have sent a heartfelt message at that point!
I don't even want to think what I would say in that situation as it even makes me shudder to think that I would ever be in it but I can tell you that it would be a heart rending message to my child accompanied by floods of uncontrollable tears & not a virtual under the breath, like pulling teeth, grunt!
I tend to think that Madeleine was somewhat of an inconvenience in their lives!
The diary and Kate's book are overwhelmingly about Kate.
Madeleine is barely mentioned, and if she is it is in direct relation to Kate's feelings.

It really makes me wonder how Kate knew of Madeleine's "fear of pain".
No kids like needles but Kate spoke as though Madeleine had been badly hurt before, and frightened by it.
When? How? Why? She was in "perfect" health allegedly, and of course the McCann would never dream of abusing their children, being the wonderful, attentive and caring parents they were.
I had a 3 year old once, in fact I've had a couple of them, and never once did they indicate they had a "fear of pain"...probably because they'd never actually felt any, apart from a needle when they were babies.
But then, both of my kids grew up alive and well, not "abducted".
:dunno:
"Brush teeth. To the bedroom with the kids. M pulls away and puts her head on pillow. Kisses goodnight for M. Pulled the door to as far as possible without shutting it. Silence.
Dry hair. Put make-up on. Glass of wine. Restaurant. "
I'm sorry but who really keeps a diary like this? Its totally daft! Glass of wine. restaurant ... do me a favour. It must have been written after the event, which means after Madeleine was 'missing' ... so WHY?
Its like me writing : Sat down at computer. Logged in to websleuths. Typed a message. Fed cat. Drank coffee.
