Chasing after Casey Anthony
What do you do when you see your child heading down the path of imbalanced reasoning and improper actions? Could Caylee Anthony have been saved by quicker or more decisive actions by her grandparents?
Probably not. The patterns of thought and personality that Casey Anthony exhibit are developed over time and they are difficult if not impossible to stem quickly. In fact, her personality type is most likely set.
The narcissistic personality that drives her needs is so strong that she cannot help herself. What seems abnormal to most people seems entirely normal to her. So strong that it overshadows the natural mothering process and causes her to look for ways to satisfy her own needs and desires to the exclusion of her child.
Don’t feel ill toward George and Cindy Anthony over their actions this past year. Any help from them would have and should have come long before while Casey was still developing her value structure and personality going back to early childhood.
They were confronted with a 22 year old young adult that was out of control. Unfortunately one of the major symptoms of such imbalance is that Casey would not be able to realize that she was thinking or acting in an imbalanced manner.
Notice I didn’t say abnormal. I want to emphasize that every thought and decision Casey made during this time period seemed entirely normal and reasonable to her.
This is precisely why some teens are so difficult to redirect. They base their thoughts and decisions on a limited number of years of living experience, less than 25, without realizing that living experience over the decades is where their true knowledge and living patterns come from.
Teens and young adults are often so engrossed in the drive for independence that they reject any interaction or advice from adults as an attempt to control and may react violently or pull away entirely.
Casey Anthony had all of these patterns. She rejected and reacted strongly to her parent’s advice and pulled away taking Caylee with her. She based her decisions and living patterns on poor peer influence, the desire to be independent and her narcissistic and histrionic personality motivations.
Chasing after Casey Anthony last summer would have most likely been a futile effort and only physically removing Caylee from her would have saved the child from the building potential for disaster.
