Wow. I didn't think of that. That's a good theory Ann. So all was well until their B&B went bust... then the anger emerged and the abuse started. I really pity Sara if that was what actually happened. To have a wonderful childhood with loving parents, then to have all that taken away from her in a snap. Instead of hugs and kisses, she heard screams, cries for help and violence.quoth_the_raven said:
I think that when Sara got older and the B&B went under, the fighting started. Her mother and father must've felt a lot of stress from the business going under and thus putting them in a financial blitz. That's probably when the drinking started, assuming of course, that her mother and father were alcoholics, and the fighting began.
I think Laura fits the first one. That her husband beats her and whenever he tries to lay a finger on Sara, she'd stand in his way and recieve the blow instead. If she was the second one... thats just sad. (Youre trying to say that Mr. Sidle beats the kids and not Laura and Laura is fine with it right? Sorry if Im wrong). If that's the case, then I'd rather Laura stay behind bars. No-one deserves a mother like that. Mothers protect their kids. No matter what. Unless she really, absolutely can't.UrielFalcon said:
There are two different types of mother that I think she would have been.
1, A caring mother that was truly trying to protect her children from her abusive husband.
2, It was simply that she could no long take it anymore. When he was hitting them, he wasn't hitting her and that was okay for Laura. It was a last ditch attempt.

Didn't she say in Nesting Dolls that as a kid she thought regular trips to the hospital, the abuse etc were normal? To me that sounds like she's expirienced that from very young age on.
When I read what you wrote, I wonder if Sara has re-opened Laura's case before... or considered reopening it on several occassions. Sure, the crime has been solved, the case is closed and her mother's now behind bars, but I wonder if Sara still feels the need to find out more, just find something that will give her some closure.saraxsullivan said:
Anyways, so I'm thinking knife, because if it was a gun, and knowing the forensic nerd Sara is P), she would probably have worded it differently, like 'blood-spatter'.
A childhood w/o love... not much of a childhood is it? I think Sara was raised like an adult, treated like an adult and behaved like an adult since she was little. She never knew what it feels like to be young and free. I think thats why she is the way she is now. She was brought up in a tough and abusive environment with few (or no) friends. Forced to fend for herself as she was growing up. It explains her almost hermit-like nature now, with hardly a personal life and displaying a tough demeanor.UrielFalcon said:
I think Laura would have been stunningly beautiful, cunning, and very cold. Maybe once or twice human nature would shine through and she'd be kind to Sara, maybe show her a few things around the kitchen or teach her how to read, but I don't believe there was much love in that household, explaining Sara's closed-off emotional status.
