I watched this documentary alone. I was too young during the media parade to remember the spins and twists what we were told to believe. I have worked on mental health for over ten years. With traumatized kids and those grown into adults.
These reviews are sad and a lot of the reason people w various trauma never tell anyone, seek help, and feel alone for their entire lives, whether or not their story ends up like Casey or not. One event trauma as an adult has an extremely different impact than recurring trauma experienced as a child as this doc explored. Casey likely has CPTSD but that's not a current dx in the US-just elsewhere. Well come around one day.
Either way the traumatized brain doesn't make "logical" sense. It doesn't mean she's a killer. This family has a multitude of toxic dynamics. If you're interested in learning more, read Running on Empty, Trauma Keeps the Score, etc. Society is also over using the word narcissist. She displays no narcissistic traits in this documentary. I hope eventually we will all be more educated in one of the great mysteries of the world. The human mind.
