I know, but as a parent I would have been freaking out! Grounding her, getting her help whatever it took! At least trying!
I fully understand, strawberry. The big difference though is I didnt have to raise a fledgling psychopath and you didnt either. Discipline and rules work for children who are receptive. Those that know they are held accountable for their actions.
Those like Casey cannot be disciplined. They never think they are wrong. The more one tries the worse it becomes for everyone in the home. If they are chastized by someone and made to look imperfect or wrong they will come after that person with a vengence like no other.
Casey didn't just become the way she was when she killed Caylee without one ounce of remorse. She had no feelings for anyone and I feel she had been that way for many years. The only hurt they feel is when they believe they have been wronged and a psychopath always sees themselves as the victim when they are in truth the brutal victimizer.
I am sure at times George at least tried to approach Casey about her bad behavior but Cindy was her enabler and all that happened is both Cindy and Casey ganged up on George and told him to butt out of it. So this is the monster that Cindy created and George went along with it most of the time just to have peace in the home so he was an enablier of sorts too.
Imo, that is one reason Casey hates George so much. To a psychopath everyone is to see them as perfect without question and she knew George didn't. He was the thorn in her side and she knew it. Cindy may b*tch every now and then but Casey knew how to manipulate her and use her to her advantage. Imo, I think Cindy sees a lot of herself in Casey so she protects Casey to protect her own image which mirrors Casey's.
When someone is in a psychopath's pod they are only allowed to remain on good terms only as long as they make the psychopath feel good about themselves at all times. Once they cross them they will do anything to get even. Anything. There are no boundaries. Once they have no use for them they will bannish them from their lives forever. Although I dont think Casey has to worry about George ever wanting to see her again. I think he is glad she is no where around him.
So to survive while Casey was growing up both Cindy and George walked softly trying to appease the beast. Cindy did it willingly because she thought Casey was entitled to be a spoiled rotten brat and George, imo did it for survival because he is too weak to leave Cindy.
One of the most heartbreaking reads is to read some of the stories out on the net about family having to live and deal with a psychopath who is a family member.
IMO
