This is such an amazing truth. Horrid, but important all the same. Sometimes the 'killers', especially mothers will distance themselves from their children, emotionally cutting them off/out, or in the worst cases of murder even, it will be more about 'delivering' them from becoming enslaved by that which destroyed the mother. I have witnessed this in abuse cases that tend to slip through the system's cracks because of lack of evidence or lack of 'severity'. There is sometimes an erosion of self-acceptance too that it isn't difficult to understand why many times such crimes are followed by suicides.
More excuses for ICA. Your ilk depresses me.
Then perhaps you should consider my words for more than their appearance. I am not necessarily making excuses for ICA. Perhaps my angle is more about identifying a root problem that we can 'nip in the bud' from here on out to prevent this from potentially happening again.
ICA knows what happened to her Daughter. She's not telling. Be it accident, or foul play, she knows. Woman up, take the stand, and let us hear, in tot mom's own words, wtfh'd.
Truth be told, 'we' may never know what happened. She may, yet she may not. Nothing has come up about her partying methods. There are so many things that are available now. It is completely believable that she encountered the same kind of 'drug' that made MISTY forget what happened to her soon to be step daughter from a case a few years ago that was so publicized. I thought at the time it was to point out the issues of life in trailer parks because even 'the trailer park boys' were being talked about more at the time. *cringe* Yet, that is just my thought about it.
She could not likely rat out her providers, now could she? She'd then probably have more to worry about, for sure. Also, there are a lot of other flags that come to mind but until someone else breaches those routes, I won't disclose my thoughts about such.
