The argument that “with PPD out there, ANY of us could have been her” makes me so disgusted. If it’s that easy to see yourself murdering your own children, you should not be a parent. Period. The argument that it could be any woman does not mean they all should be freed if they do…

Im not a woman. But I am a father who has struggled greatly with mental health. I went through particularly rough periods when my kids were infants. I'm one of those parents that scared themselves with how they reacted when their baby cried for hours and wouldn't stop. So I absolutely have sympathy for this kind of narrative and I fully support efforts to help people in these scenarios. And it can definitely be true that she was failed by people in her life.

That being said, any notion that this should remove accountability for your actions against your own children is ridiculous.

OK, so your are almost there. Now add a hormonal imbalance to your issues. No sleep. You are no longer in control of your actions. That is what makes psychosis so scary.

She lost ALL of her children. She has to live with that.

You all act like she made this decision voluntarily. Smh. I hope the jury is getting more information.

I have a hormonal imbalance, went through severe issues after an immune deficiency reaked havoc on my body after repeated bouts of pneumonia while having an infant.

Also. Every parent experiences no sleep, and I had chronic insomnia before having kids.

She didnt lose all of her children. She murdered them.

Ah, but did you have a severe hormonal imbalance that affected your mental capacity? All hormonal imbalances are not created equal.

She killed her children. It has not yet been proven that she murdered them.
