Please don't be hard on Mrs. Schlinder. None of us has been through what she has. She became physically ill when she saw her daughter at the end. I just cannot imagine having to be in the room with a daughter that was being killed and have to watch her suffer as she did. Think I would have attacked. Nobody is going to tell me my daughter will be killed just because........

Just imagine if it was your daughter. A daughter gets married to a bum, they fight and she is in a coma. The husband wants her dead so she cannot incriminate him......so, now, he has free murder. And, we expect a mother to be able to physically stand there and watch her beg for help from anybody?

God will get vengence for the treatment of Terri.

It is because I could only imagine if it were my daughter that I formed an opinion about Mrs. Schlinder. There are times that our own suffering must be secondary to our duties as parents. Terri was aware at the end and all she knew was that her mother wasn't with her when she needed her most. I'm sorry if that's harsh, but Mrs. Schlinder should have found a way to be there, even if it meant that she'd have to take tranquilizers to make herself go.
