I truly believe most mothers try to do the best with their kids, I don't see Cindy as any worse than most mothers. When I was in school, there was quite a bit of evidence to suggest psychopaths were missing a physical part of the brain that we call a conscience. (I don’t know what the research says now.) They don’t' have lots of psychopath’s brains to dissect, but those people who had been serial murders and felt no guilt were part of the studies. My professor was convinced that these people would have turned out this way, no matter who raised them; wouldn’t we all behave differently if we never felt guilty? Anyway, my point is Cindy doesn’t seem that different than most mothers and I don’t believe they raised Casey to be a self-serving liar, I think she was born that way.
The night Cindy called 911 to report Casey stealing a car and money shows that she was willing to be tough on Casey, how many people call the police on their kids? Everyone says they would have made Casey tell them the truth, how do you do that? So yes, I feel so sorry for Cindy, she’s probably saying to herself all the time, if I had done this or hadn’t have done that, things would have been different. I’m sure George and Cindy have even blamed each other at times, “If you hadn’t been so tough, and if you hadn’t been so lenient.” If you have ever seen Casey talking to people, she can be so charming, articulate, and engaging, and if we didn’t know she was a pathological liar who’s willing to throw anyone under a bus to save herself, we would think her parents have done a wonderful job.
