First of all, I thought it in poor form when Piers made the following comment to Terry:
Piers: What I think is amazing about you - You talk about your lack of forgiveness for the Garridos - but actually, the remarkable compassion you've shown for those two children that Jaycee had.
Terry (with a shocked look on her face): Those are my grandbabies. I love those grandbabies.
Piers: I find it profoundly moving that you can do that.
Terry: How can you not?! They're innocent children!
It makes me wonder how Piers Morgan, if under similar circumstances, would treat his grandchildren.
You know... this actually didn't surprise me that much... once I thought about it.
When he said it, I thought... "wow, that sounds familiar... I've heard THAT before..."
Because I've heard so many stupid comments...
"It's amazing how you can love your kids equally."
"You are amazing for just being able to take care of your kids like they are normal."
"You are so strong for being able to keep her once you found out. I would have given her up immediately."
My kid has Down syndrome.
That's all she has.
From the comments I have gotten you would think that she is a serial killer.
Or has some terminal and horribly contagious disease.
Those are the "good" comments I've gotten too... they get REALLY absurd.
People look at a situation and they see it as FAR worse than it really is.
Piers looked at this as "those kids were fathered by this evil rapist who stole her daughter.
How can she love anything that came from something so evil? How can she see anything but evil in the children that came from him?"
Piers doesn't look at it as "those kids were mothered by and raised by her beautiful daughter who she adores and is thrilled to have back."
I would guess that Piers likely couldn't imagine anyone keeping a child born from rape. I have a friend who did that though.
It is all about perspective... and Jaycee and Terry have a far different perspective than Piers.
Maybe if Jaycee had been raped on the street at 19, she may have felt differently about keeping the child.
But when you are a child, having a child and that child is the ONLY thing you have?? I'm sure she is very close to her girls.
Piers doesn't seem to have any life experience that would give him any perspective on the situation. Lucky for him. :twocents:
