She didn't walk away like nothing happened. She created the small faction, created the intruder, feigned victimhood, took drugs, slept, wept, then fixated on JonBenet as mythic figure; princess and angel.
She isn't cracking because Boulder Colorado lives in a purple haze, the law industry is evil and John has money. And as you can tell from this thread (just like I have been saying all along) it is very difficult to discern Good from Evil, madness from divine inspiration.
Under the right pressure she would crack. But that would require being put under the eye of man's (white, european, male) judgement, something that is falling out of power these days, certainly in Boulder.
Absolutely right, BrotherMoon.
Jubie - to answer your question ...
Patsy was already fixated on JonBenet even before her death. JBR was the "beautiful angel child" who was put on display at pageants from the age of two when she could barely toddle. JBR was Patsy's "pure" alter ego. (Have you seen JBR's gravestone inscription?)
Patsy had serious enmeshment issues with JBR ... JBR was an extension of Patsy, not an independent being with her own identity. JBR was starting to chafe at this suffocation, and it must have been a psychological torment for Patsy to experience the pulling away of her "other self."
Patsy
intended for JonBenet to be perfect ... imperfections would destroy the mythic properties Patsy assigned to JBR. And if JBR was perfect, and honored as such, what accolades would then befall Patsy as the "Mother of Perfection"? What a tremendous ego stroke.
But there had to be some necessary adjustments in order to create the image of perfection.
JBR's hair was a light brown. Not perfect enough. So it was dyed platinum blonde. (Forget the "Sun-In Myth ... Pam Paugh admitted JBR's hair was DYED to make it blonder.)
JBR's baby skin was sallow in complexion. Not perfect enough. So rouge and foundation were added to make her look rosy and beguiling.
JBR's big doe eyes were green, almost hazel. Not perfect enough. In publicity photos and family portraits, Patsy had JBR's eyes
tinted by the photographer to make them look blue. (How sick is that?)
The list goes on and on. Patsy wanted to present, and believe in, JonBenet as perfection ... her child as perfection. A perfect accessory to a perfect life.
Trouble is ... JBR could not live up to that standard of perfection. At six-years-old, she still had daily accidents and was a bed wetter. She was somewhat spoiled and petulant, given to moods (like any six-year-old) and growing weary of Patsy's incessant "beauty queen" grooming. Ultimately, she rejected the My Twinn doll specially bought for her by Patsy. JonBenet didn't want another "twin," she already had Patsy trying to act like one. JonBenet was tired of being stuffed into the image Patsy had tried to create for her.

How true ... and in Patsy's case, it may have been both.
Sissi - you asked, >"Is there something about this woman that is so unlikeable that we need for her to be a villian?"<
None of us
need for Patsy to "be a villian." I did not choose to believe that Patsy is somehow responsible for the death of JonBenet. I
needed, I wanted to believe otherwise. But I cannot.
All the evidence; especially the construction, handwriting and linguistics of the ransom note, point to Patsy as being involved in JonBenet's death. There was no intruder, there is no intruder, there will never BE an intruder.
As Patsy has said, JonBenet has completed her mission in life, she is with the angels now. The crisis is over. The sacrifice made.
"It is finished."
IMO
