I just recalled the term for most of her speech and mention of the kids being in such a wonderful place "RATIONALIZING"....very common tool used by everyone everyday but often used by criminals and mentally ill people to allow them to look in the mirror and live with themselves. Was was doing this in open court big time.
To me rationalizing is when I admit what I did but then I go into some length justifying what and why I did it.
Minimizing is not fully admitting what I did and then try to further lessen it's severity by saying the result was better, they no longer suffer, in a better place, get everything they want. Ya know the old 'the end justifies the means'?
