the sick words of gerry and kate mcann we are learning to live without maddie even though its painful

FFS which is it kate and gerry i thought you said you didnt call maddie maddie because SHE DIDNT LIKE IT??? and what kind of parents would say such a calious thing??/how could you ever learn to live without your daughter i know if i had one i never could or would!!! it shows you didnt care about maddie like we thought!!!

EDIT cross posted from other forum

These People are way off normality.

Sick people aren't they carly.

When something happens to your child, for the sake of the other kids, you HAVE to try and live without them and try and have a semblance of a normal life. That old saying life moves on is very true, however unpalatable it is. It;s either try and make the best of it or die.

well i could never move on until i knew where she was or if she was safe i wouldnt be able to move on ever if i was a parent id be wondering is she safe is she warm is she being abused etc thats if she was abducted which i dont think so

well i dont agree with you nick but we all have our own opinions

PokerShaun wrote:Surely that is a complete contradiction to their entire existance yet. Maybe I am wrong BUT if you are claiming to be heading up one of the, if not THE, biggest searches in the history of searches for a daughter you believe to be alive then why would you even say you were learning to live without her... Surely the fact you are still searching proves that comment to be untrue.
You either hope and search or give up and learn to deal with your life without the person NOT both....

.... again, maybe I am wrong, not being arrogant BUT I think I am correct in my view here.

Agree with you shaun, if you've lost someone through death, a bereavement, then yes saying your taking one day at time to get over your loss i can understand. but if your sure the person is alive, and still activly looking for them why say your learning to live without them? i am sure if maddie, is ever found alive.. ( imo, not very likely) then surely she will read at some point what her parents have said.. we are learning to live without her... what actually did maddie mean to them?

My old Granny had a front parlour that she kept as a shrine, to two of my uncles who got killed in the war. Nobody was allowed in there, or got to touch any of their things. I only ever saw inside there a couple of times, but pride of place went to two huge photographs of them in their RAF uniforms, and a sideboard with their things on - cigarette boxes, cuff links and so on.

I don't remember their younger brother (my Dad) running around in their clothes or shoes, or taking their things. And I cetainly don't remember any money pots centre-stage on the sideboard.

The McCanns are not normal people.

i agree was it nota day or 2 after maddie vanshed that amelie and sean were wearing maddies tshirt and shoes etc?

I don't think we ever learn to live without people we have loved and lost.My dear old mum has been dead over four years now ,and the gap she left in our lives is too great to ever be filled.We i think some how try to compensate for our loss by trying to fill our lives with other things ,but the gap never gets any smaller.

Carly those two are a complete mystery to me ,they are without doubt the coldest couple i've ever seen.If and its a big if, it was proved beyond doubt they were completely unconnected to Maddies disappearance,nothing could make me like these two .they are rude arrogant and generally unpleasant people.They seem to put no value on life,if you think your child is in danger ,how do you function ,they seem to manage quite well,most parents would fall to pieces ,but not them.It aint natural IMO.

Also let us remind ourselves when they say were told not to show emotion, but then put Madeleine Alleged Eye birthmark for all to see , if she had been Allegedly Abducted putting her in further upmost risk !!!!

I do hope our UK government are not Party to any wrong doing, but at this stage its hard to know.My hope is they were led into this because of who knows whome.
And like most of the Population in the UK at the time, believed what they were told had happened on the night of May 3rd..

If McCann did say 'we are learning to live without her' then to me that is proof they know what happened to their daughter. They know they won't see her again. They know full well she is not findable. How could those words pass your lips? How utterly despicable. Sean and Amelie will learn of this is years to come, poor kids.

I think that, how much we want it to be proof, and how much we want Maddie to be found and the McCanns found guilty, we have to be fair..... this is no proof. This is an indication, but I'm afraid we read too much into it. I too am outraged that he could even say these words, but we know that Gerry puts his foot in it now and again, and he gives the impression that he knows she is dead, an in fact, I think he's sure about it. But he has got to keep the money coming in.

Yes, Christine, you are right, 'proof' is too strong a word, but a father who truly believed his daughter was still alive would never, ever say those words. Let's just say that it strongly suggests that he knows Madeleine is never coming home.

I could carry on making observations i noted as abnormal behavoure.

The giggling is a bit wierd.
I can imagine that of course, they do laugh from time to time - that is normal behaviour. But not after just reliving a painful memory and talking about it.

Know what worries me?

IF Madeleine is ever found alive (which I dont think she will be but stay with me here) then the really worrying prospect is that she will be returned to live with these two seriously disturbed individuals.

They have already proved to be completely neglectful and uncaring about their eldest daughter - why should they be allowed to have her back?
After all - 2 years down the line and she will have forgotten about them anyway.

Here is a wee reminder of the poor, poor parents, learning to live without Maddie.

Grief stricken!



I wish we could get this image and the date it was taken proved,then circulate it.

In that photo they always look to me like a huge weight has just been lifted off their shoulders.

Headline in the newspaper : Madeleine found alive...... Nobody would doubt it

Nobody "learns to live" without a child that has gone....to who knows where. Families never get over it and life goes on for them though. A rather cold thing to say. Gerry McCan is arrogant!
