Hatred is an emotion. I'm actually maintaining that the woman doesn't feel much emotion. In other words, it isn't so much that she hated her children--I think she just didn't care much. I also don't think Susan Smith hated her children. I think she liked them so long as they drew attention to her and served her need to be thought of as a good mother. When they got in the way, she got rid of them. Mrs. VD did not "get rid" of Danielle, but she didn't care enough to keep her safe, and in fact, seems to have invited danger into their home by her lifestyle.

I think she just didn't care much

I've been searching for a gentle way to say this same thing. Regardless of whether she had any involvement in the circumstances leading to Danielle's murder or not, she "appears" to not be affected to the point that most of us imagine.

The husband is even worse. I have heard that Danielle was not his biological daughter. Is that right? Anyone ???
