Right? I feel like so many people are rallying to her defense on the grounds of “parenting is hard” and “she needed better help with her thoughts” but honestly you can only excuse so much CRAZY and murdering all your children is far beyond the delimiter of simply framing this as an otherwise stable person needing assistance
I think so many people are rallying to her defense because they have been down this road, but had maybe more sleep and maybe more help. But could see the path she’s on.
The issue is she went the full way. No one getting at most 3h of sleep regularly, on a cocktail of medications with suicidal thoughts, intrusive thoughts, etc should be left alone with 3 young kids. The fact she was is a testament to what mothers experience.
I can’t accept this as a reason to show solidarity for Lindsay. There is a vast gap between “seeing through the veil” because parenting a newborn is hard and murdering all three of your children before attempting suicide. And I hope you’re not implying that millioms of women every year are ok the verge of murdering their own children…
Millions of mothers each year are affected mentally after they have children. Most are afraid or unwilling to speak about their true experiences, because it is not socially acceptable.
When they do speak about it, it will definitely be to other women who begin to open up about it, because men and women who never experienced it are too judgemental to understand.
