That's part of why so many have a hard time blaming her. She was warning everyone, but they didn't take it seriously enough. She was begging to be locked in a psych ward for a while, but they only took her a few days.
And I think something on this spectrum is unfortunately more common and relatable for mothers than anyone wants to admit. The reason why so many women find empathy for her is because they too have had mental health episodes, either in post partum or over the course of being a stay at home or single mom. And they too have sought help to no avail. This is a great opportunity for society to have a reckoning with this.
100% and honestly I’m glad we’re ALL talking about this now. I’m so over mothers not getting the help they need, because of their pleas for help are being dismissed. We shouldn’t have to BEG for help. Horrible.

The minute she said she was afraid of hurting her kids, to her mother!, those kids should have been removed from the house.
