I hope Mrs. VDS has a support system in Holland. I believe she'll have to take her other sons and retreat back there when this is all over.
Mrs. VDSloot is a tragic figure. What happened to this family, is like a cyclone. Everything smashed for both families, and how to pick up the pieces? This is the stuff of divorce, too. Okay, films and books and endless talk shows. Pray for Natalee. Somehow she almost gets 'lost' in all this.
