I don't buy the reason for why Amanda and Gina


Aren't close to Michelle. I get he pitted them against each other. I do. They should have banded together against this guy and talk about the lies he was spewing. Michelle and Gina were in the same room for months, and Michelle was such a savior for Gina, sometimes taking the beatings and rapes for Gina. I do understand a bit why Michelle is mad that Amanda left the house without the girls. It's to bad that when the door was opened she didn't scream to the girls that she got out and people were there.

She might have thought it was another trick. Ariel Castro played a lot of tricks/tests to condition the girls to stay there.

You mean what GINA said about moving on? It made sense. Seeing each other will remind them of him.

I think she wanted to wait for the police.

And you never will understand why. Each person reacts differently to being under extreme duress. Unless you are in the same situation, you cannot understand what went on in their minds.

From what I understand from reading Hope is that Michelle wanted to tell her story alone, they asked her to work with them and she chose not to.
What I don't understand is why people can't respect that? Why be angry at any of them for these decisions? Michelle has a right to do what she wants and so do the other two, I think they well and truely earnt the freedom to do that!

As for Amanda not calling out to them...huh? She SAVED them, she alerted other people and then the police so that Gina and Michelle were saved as well, what more should she have done? I know I sure as hell wouldn't be going back in there after finally escaping after so long!
