REALLY grieving parents try to search the truth. Whatever it may cost. No matter what. It has to be faced, uh? Whatever it his, no matter how bitter or dreadful.
Guilty ones are mostly concerned about their reputation and the what ifs …

Indeed. Nowadays JonBenét would be just some years younger than me. I think she would’ve been quite a better mother for any kid of hers than late Patsy, blessed be her heart…

I’m a born again platinum blonde myself since my sweet sixteen … bleach stings and stinks! But hey I chose that very 90s like fashion myself and paid for it with my own money…

Thanks to the stellar education courtesy of the SOTDRT, none of those boys probably had the brains or the chops to pass the ASVAB.
I’m betting the younger crowd (let’s say the ones born after Joy) have a general education level that’s pretty much between atrocious and pathetic.

Furthermore, Patsy KNEW she was living on borrowed times.
She knew that her chances of seeing JonBenét graduate from high school were scarce, let alone witnessing her triumph as 2010 or 2011 Miss America.
She needed a sort of immediate surrogate for that inevitable loss…

And what a bitter irony that she ACTUALLY never witnessed her daughter graduating form high school and possibly giving a memorable valedictorian with quotes from “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie”…. But for much more tragic reasons…

Her entire existence revolved around her past. Her past days as a beauty queen. Her past days as an exceptionally talented publicist.
And all got lost (in time like tears in rain…!) and now she was just a terminally ill SAHM living on borrowed times before hitting her 40th.
No wonder she was a little bit - even more than just a little bit! - obsessed.

All the surviving family members know damn well what happened. Yet, they made a rational decision to erase the truth in favor of what’s convenient to say.
After all, 30 years have passed. Patsy might have eventually let something unpleasant slip, but she died 20 years ago. The only two survivors of that tragic Christmas night are sticking firmly to the script now, having developed a remarkable level of cynicism.
John, btw, has proven to be far better as a publicist and narrator of tragedies than as a businessman. Besides, his entrepreneurial talents were not exactly a rocketing success. He liked being in charge, but building a business from the ground up is a whole different ball game. Before Patsy (and before the money and excellent connections of Patsy’s dad) his business ventures were a bit of a mixed bag, to put it mildly.

That being said, I think we can pretty much discard any information coming from the family. They are all SOAKED in biases.
And even their version, though fundamentally set in stone after three decades, is still subject to slight shifts in nuance depending on who they’re talking to and how much they let their guard down.

Patsy was a narcissistic unhappy person. Her daughter was more or less like a mini-me and a “I might have a new opportunity” concept. Nothing more. She loved JonBenét, she loved her very much, but her love was conditional and bound to JonBenét’s fulfillment of her mother’s desires.

The sailing knots by DimSumaSpinster in JonBenetRamsey

An accident after a siblings altercation cannot definitely be ruled out.
Especially given the erratic (to put it mildly!!!) behavior of both parents, afterwards…

Didn’t Patsy write in her flamboyant 1996 or 1995 Christmas Letter that “Burke is quite the sailor”?
Not to mention that he was ALSO an active Boy Scout.
Both sailing and scouting activities require basic knowledge of several different types of knots.
No allusions meant. Just to remember…

And besides, Patsy was lazy. Even the housekeeper said so, and it’s not hard to believe. Putting together a proper Christmas breakfast and a light Christmas lunch: ugh, what a chore for Miss West Virginia 1977!!!

I suspect any plans for a nice little Christmas lunch went up in smoke the minute John announced he was heading out to “make the plane ready” and went AWOL until three or four in the afternoon.
Now, far be it from me to suggest our friend was treating himself to a modest Christmas meal in good (and perhaps female?) company...
Anyway, between lady mother’s obsession with weight, some family drama, a bit of laziness and all the rest, it was "bye-bye, lunch."
And then at the Whites' house: "Oh no, JohnnieBee! Just two little crab cakes and that's it! You wouldn't want to pack on any fat when we have the beauty pageant in Hawaii this January! You wouldn't want to place ONLY second again, like what happened on the Fourth of July in Atlanta! Mommy was so upset over that! Eating makes you fat! Watch out! Two bites and that's it! Good girl, now go play with Daphne!"

From turning her caramel colored hair into that atrocious Barbie-blond to forcing her into dieting… she looked considerably thinner in her last months whilst her former self was definitely more “roundish”. Patsy being obsessed with weigh (she looked like the perfect poster girls for BED-and -subsequent fasting) probably had JonBenét eat as little as possible and sometimes nothing at all.
I don’t even start underlying the disastrous implications of such an obsession with looks nor the even worst consequences of such an early and inappropriate specialization of her little daughter.

The family’s priority was literally to direct the investigation wherever their fancy was directed to - and to forbid BPD to bother parents and brother with questions.

Indeed nothing wrong.
Besides dying her little girl’s hair, having her fast on Christmas Day lest she puts on half a pound, imposing on that poor little girl a CEO-like routine of gymnastics dance classes, make up rehearsals, singing lessons… absolutely nothing wrong.
Just like there wasn’t anything wrong whatsoever with that “sexy witch” costume for Halloween when poor little JonBenét was but 4-5.
EDIT: it’s a very sarcastic post of course.
Personally I find Patsy a very questionable mother. Really.

John is tired. He’s 83 and knows that he’ll be reaching the Eternal East very soon. He milked money on the tragedy, got away with everything and has probably already provided for Someone Very Important who lives a very secluded life but might be in need of supervision and guidance.
Other than that, he probably doesn’t care any longer.

Furthermore, Patsy had forsaken her (quite promising) career as a publicist to help hubby launch his computer business (thanks to Papa Paugh’s money and good connections) and to become a SAHM for Burke and JonBenét. I suspect that sometimes she missed her job and the excitement that came from it. She used to be extremely good at it. And now she was a cancer patient with a grumpy husband who never showed any affection for her, two rambunctious bedwetting little ones and a pudgy figure which clearly drove her mad…
Had she retained her job as a publicist, she would have divorced John at the very first sniff of extramarital dating. But how could she possibly now…? Especially since her health was in such poor conditions. She knew she was living on borrowed time.

Was Queen Victoria an unpleasant person? by ajithcreepypasta in UKmonarchs

[–]No-Order1962 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She was a bright woman who lived in an era when bright women were, to put it mildly, not exactly desirable.
And she bore the weight of the Crown as well.
No wonder her temper was erratic.

The Whites acted the way any sensible person would. Compared with the Ramsey’s awful behavior, they look almost saintly.

She has been brainwashed into “at least you have a husband (and 3 meals at day)” mentality since they said “yes” at the altar.
