George's emotions are authentic in MPO. Even his anger is not terrible towards the media, he is mostly showing pain and I believe he is being authentic in his outburst. All the walls are collapsing around them, the reality is hitting hard. This is not the same with Cindy attacking the media and telling people to get their *advertiser censored** off the couch. As I see it this is genuine family victim's anger, that step of the process. The walls of hope and denial collapsing, the anxiety attacks and desperation kicking in.
And we do have to give them some understanding for their unwillingness to believe Casey is responsible. Casey was not a violent person, she was not psychotic, she didn't threaten to kill the child before, she and child had a pretty good life for a single mother, Casey had boyfriend and friends and supporting family around. The shock must be big. The terror of someone yours doing this to another family member, especially with no warning signs, must be like a never ending nightmare they are desperately trying to wake up from.
