This is what one commenter had to say about the Casey Kasem saga. It sounds more realistic to me

Casey was in contact with his children over the years, it was his idea for the kids to not to visit him at his house. In 2007 he signed power of attorney that gives not Kerri but the two other children control over his health care but that was nullified in 2011 and a new health care directive was giving Jean control over his health. When he got sick and couldn’t visit the kids himself, Jean allowed them to visit him for 1 hour every 3 weeks on major holidays and Casey’s birthday but someone was supposed to be present during the visitations. The other two kids complied but Kerri didn’t like that. They also heard that Jean is supposed to get a part on Housewives show. Subsequently, Kerri’s sister Julie filed for conservatorship but the judge after investigating said that Casey is well taken care of including having pedicure and manicure and there is no need for conservatorship because his wife takes good care of him. After that Jean took him to Washington State. Kerri says that her dad was mistreated by Jean but the sheriffs who located him at their friend’s house said he was doing fine. There was no sign of mistreatment. Jean says that the kids constantly were asking for money. They got $100k to $150k each year for school, cars, parking tickets, housing, travel etc. None of the money was ever repaid. The money dried up after the father got sick. I hope this will help some of you to understand why your beloved Kerri didn’t like visitations with someone in the room.

They are all nuts and I don't think anyone will ever get the real story. It will always be skewed by all of the dysfunctional people in this drama.

The statements coming out of the hospital carry a disclaimer that they were written not by the hospital staff but by Kerri's PR people. Weird huh??

I think that if Jean was really mistreating the old man, the kids would not have waited until he was unable to speak before taking this to court. The timing is just too convenient.

Funny, this Kerri idiot wanted DAAAADYYYYY so much, that within days she wants to stop feeding the guy and start end of life…REALLY? Are you serious? It's funny as some people are now starting to comment "what? Kerri, but you wanted to take care of your DADDDDYYYY and now are ready to kill him?" lol There you go guys…this should be interesting. Amazing.

Don't most of these idiots? ugh Not funny really, but funny in a way to see people who supported Kerri now asking WTH?

I am not really following the story, but I believe there is enough crazy and dysfunction to go around, so who knows? We will probably never know what has really gone on.

I do wonder why he gave his 2 other children control over his health care in 2007 to begin with. He had been married to Jean for about 27 years at that point.

Maybe, just maybe, because as many of our IDIOT DHs they believe the BS line from their kids about how much they love him and how evil the wife is, but the guy loves his wife and is torn…and maybe he thought for a while his kids actually DID love him? And then, maybe he realized these idiots don't have my best interest at heart? Could that be it…ah, yes.

How many of us remember our DHs fighting us over their WONDERFUL kids and their LIES and we were the bad ones? They were torn because they could not accept their kids hated them so much and were trying to cause the trouble? Then, one day, something happens and our DHs realize these kids don't really give a hoot about them and finally stand by their wife? Happens all the time. I bet you it happened here, as seeing Casey was just like many others we deal with…It must be hard to accept that your wife loves you more than your own FLESH AND BLOOD...
