I know I'm a newfag, disregard that I suck cocks in favor of dissecting the substance of my posts (granted, the substance is nonexistent).
After going through all the highlights for this thread, I have a question, and I'm not sure if its one that has been answered, but I think it might be relevent.
Why didn't Isabella Janke's mother want to keep her?
No, this is a serious question.
For those of you who don't keep track of the family courts, what you need to know is that the family courts are fucked with a capital F. Mothers and fathers walk in with their children, mothers walk out with custody. Its super bad in the US. There are cases where the mother is doing crack, this is proven to the courts, and she still gets custody of the children. It is nearly impossible for a mother to lose custody because the courts generally make the assumption that the children need the mother. I've heard some absolutely crazy shit when it comes to family courts, and while I don't believe all of what I hear, what I do believe is enough to make me cringe and lose some faith in our justice system.
Long story short, both Janke's bio-mom, and bio-dad are loaded. Both could afford really good lawyers.
However, bio-dad has custody.
Why does bio-dad have custody?
Considering the state of the family courts, I basically take it as a given that, due to the fact that Bio-mom isn't a godamned wreck with a history of beating her kids (White, female, pretty, prestigious job), if bio-mom had fought for Isabella Janke, bio-mom really should've got Isabella. I honestly cannot think of a single reason, barring some sort of scandal that was kept quiet except for when it was brought up in court, that bio-mom didn't get custody of dear Isabella if bio-mom had fought for Isabella.
But... Glowie dad has custody.... Why?
Well, there are a few reasons I could think of. The simplest one (hello Occam) is profession. If Bio-mom was a pilot, or was studying to be a pilot when she spawned the horrorcow from hell, then it was either keep Isabella Janke, or keep her career. A pilot is the kind of job that means you have to move around a lot. Start the day in New York, fall asleep in LA. And I doubt that American Airlines is happy to have a nursing mother acting as a pilot in one of their Boeing 767's (the plane she pilots is a guess based one her Instagram handle "767godess"). Even if American Airlines was okay with it, that kind of movement is not great for a child. No stability, no way to go to school. So, it would've ended up with Isabella living with either relatives, or being in a more specialized, long term daycare for when Athena Pettit was on the job.
A working mother that is literally unable to be there for her daughter, except for say, the holidays is something that I think the courts would consider unacceptable when it comes to giving custody.
I think that Athena Pettit gave up her daughter in exchange for keeping her career.
I don't know how. Maybe Pettit looked at her schedule, then her daughter, and said "No thank you." In this route, Bio-mom didn't even fight for Isabella. She simply went into divorce court, and told the court that she would not contest glow-dad for custody of Isabella, only those sweet, sweet assets of glow-dad that Petitt wanted to make her life cushy, and allow her to afford that ridiculously priced NY penthouse.
The second is that Petitt did fight the courts.
Now, the courts, not being politically correct, and really lagging behind the times, basically always give the mother custody, no matter what. As I've pointed out, so long as the mother is willing to fight, (and sometimes even when the mother hasn't even bothered to), mom gets custody.
But in this hypothetical scenario, Bio-mom did fight, and the courts said no. But, with how prejudiced the courts are against father custody, it wouldn't be an open-and-shut thing. Someone likely told Athena Pettit that if she wanted to keep her daughter, she would have to give up her pilot career, and settle down in a single house, so as to provide child-Isabella the stability in a family that the courts look for when awarding custody.
...And Athena Pettit is still a pilot.
I don't think that Athena Pettit fought for Isabella, or if she did, she didn't fight all that hard.
And Bio-mom feels rather guilty about it.
Awhile back, I saw some payments being given to Isabella from Bio-mom (I think they were screenshots from a cash-app, with said screenshots being harvested from Luis's discord leaks) with a whole lot of hearts on them, and phrases like "Love you". I don't know about how much three hundred dollars every so often means for a pilot, but for the average joe, that's a lot of money to just be throwing around, and Isabella is over eighteen, so those aren't alimony (which would be going direct to glow-dad anyways). So, bio-mom is trying to buy her daughters love.
((EDITED IN: ) Aight, after looking into it, it seems like the payments range from 200-250$, which Athena Pettit was sending roughly every week, with the reason given being either "love you" (or some variation thereof), or heart emoticons. )
Something to note is that this was not rent or school supplies, because Athena Pettit had sent money with a seperate note for that.
On June 1st, 2021, Athena sent $1,000 specifically for "Rent and supplies".
Its not unusual when it comes to divorce, especially for the parent that didn't get custody, but it does happen.
And a part of me wonders if Isabella knows that?
Does it burn, knowing that Mother didn't love Isabella enough to actually fight for her? Has she accepted it? Maybe this has helped develop the inferiority complex, and the compulsive need for attention that Isabella Janke has.
But the question remains: Why didn't Athena Pettit get (or, as I believe in this case, want) custody?
What do you think? Poke holes into my ramblings and shred me for them. If I've missed something, or I'm being stupid, then I deserve it.
