...I only vaguely knew about it because there were some celebrities raising awareness about it, if I recall...I hadn’t really known any details, other than she committed the murder at 16yrs old and some celebrities were campaigning to have her released...
...I pretty much agree with everything you say and that she did kill him in his sleep....strangely, the first thing I thought before it was mentioned was Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, the few children I’ve known with that diagnosis have been much younger but I was aware of some of the ‘typical’ displays it has with older children and it seemed to fit so much with Cyntoia...it’s strange to think that taking a life, as she did...?...was in a way, the beginning of what broke that cycle of damage/abuse which was being passed down in generation...her mother didn’t have that person in her life that Cyntoia did with her adopted mother, who really believed in her and loved her ....but even with that, Cyntoia obviously didn’t understand her inability to process her emotions, so the path she went down couldn’t have been prevented, even having such a stable influence on her life..if she hadn’t gone to prison, she might never have gained that understanding...?....which has obviously led to her free life now and the openness she has about her emotions and in her relationships...she really looked overcome when it was all being explained, as if in making sense, it freed her emotionally...?...
...(...I know it hasn’t had great reviews, but if you haven’t watched it already...I really would recommend you watching Hillbilly Elegy, which as you’ll see...well, it’s that ‘generation/legacy’ thing and that story...(...which I think is also based on a true story..)...connects with Cyntoia’s story in its content...
...but yeah, good watch...thanks for the recommendation....:love:...
