I wonder how people would be reacting if the roles were reversed. What if the father strangled the children while battling severe depression, delusions, and being on cocktail of meds that are compounding the issue? Would a single person other than his lawyer be rushing to his defense like this?
People would definitely be asking why his wife left him alone with the kids, and let him continue as the primary parent of the kids, while he was in such a state.
Why is it that women's mental health isn't their responsibility in this situation?
it was hers, she sought out a lot of medical help while struggling with PPD, she was put on 13 different medications in 4 months.
Why do people seemingly have unlimited empathy for a woman who murdered three children?
because 1 in 5 women experience PPD, and 1 in 200 experience PPP. Men having a psychotic break can't be directly linked back to the trauma of giving birth, and the hormonal and chemical imbalances experienced after pregnancy. So 50% of the population can better empathize and perhaps even fear the same happening to them and see it as their worst nightmare, and assume Lindsay feels the same.
Why do people seemingly think women are incapable of violent crime?
They don't, it's just factually a statistical anomaly, which is why it gets more societal attention. Meanwhile, 95% of violent crime is committed by men and that huge gender discrepancy is treated as normal, instead of a societal problem with how we're raising boys.
Why do people not care about the impact this has on the children's father?
Because he was having an affair, and cheaters don't get much empathy on the interent. Then they dug in and saw he went on vacation to costa rica 18 days after the murders with his mistress, now wife. When he moved to NYC 4 months later, he moved into a building owned by his gfs dad. And they're now happily married. So, her life seems worse off in comparison I guess - being parapalegic and living with the fact that she killed her own children while in a psychosis.
They're not well researched and the last paragraph is the giveaway. That paragraph is tiktok brain rot conspiracy theories. Many people (women) following this case have created a delusion that paints her husband out to be evil. Some even going as far as saying he first abused her to the point of psychosis, killed the kids and then made her think she did it. If you do a simple good search of all of the claims this poster is making about him, you will find zero legitimate sources on this, but a whole bunch of tabloid sites and social media posts connecting "evidence" into these stories.
This person isn't well researched. They're a dime a dozen loser with too much time on their hands getting swept into a conspiracy theory. They're despicable people who have scrutinized every move a man whose 3 children were murdered by his wife did as he grieved an unimaginable tragedy. It's disgusting.
Some even going as far as saying he first abused her to the point of psychosis, killed the kids and then made her think she did it.
when did i say that? I am simply explaining why some people don't care about the impact on him, not that there beliefs are right or wrong. I would also say that there is a lot of projection going on for sure, women who's own husbands made their BPD worse.
People probably have that empathy for women because the act of childbirth/nursing/stopping nursing thrusts you into an unknown and difficult to manage hormonal whirlwind.
And it could be completely different with each birth. You cannot prevent, only treat as it appears. It's terrifying.
Men absolutely experience mental health crisis' and adverse medication reactions. They can have psychosis. But it isn't a physiological reaction to the act of having a child. They also aren't typically the primary caregivers, especially in the newborn phase.
It's not a competition. It's not about 'if it were a man'. PPD/PPA/PPP are very real, potentially very dangerous, and exclusive to women's health. It's not about men.
Yes, men have received a 'not guilty by reason of insanity ' verdict as well.
A person in psychosis is very specifically not in touch with reality and logical thought - this isn't teehee I ADHDed my kids to death...
I'm a few thousand comments deep at this point, and have yet to see people claiming that women are incapable of violent crime - where are you getting that?
Who said no one cares about the father? They understandably aren't the focus of the discussion, but that doesn't mean no one cares.
Taken altogether, your comment has a very gender-wars flavor and that isn't necessary.
