I am sure she is really suffering inside now that she knows everything about Charles she didn't know. She defended him because he was her son and wanted to believe he was telling the truth about TM being legal. I am sure the attempted child molestation charges hit her from left field and threw her for a loop. Let's be honest, none of us saw that coming and it was a shock to learn.

Yes, she chose to ignore the truth about TM and Charles' role, and yes she should have realized long before she did it was all a lie; but Mothers don't want to admit their child is a crook and even more so now a registered child sex offender. That double whammy had to really shake her to the core. Hindsight is 20/20 as long as we are willing to see it.

She has a long way to go to get to acceptance, but hopefully she can get there. I know she is in pain and her whole world came crashing down around her head. A really bitter pill to swallow. Hopefully now she can see all the mistakes she made and make amends to those that deserve it. Only time will tell if she will or not. Until then I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
