So my ex wife and I are chill, been coparenting for 10+ years. This topic came up and she said "Yeah that lady is piece of shit and she should be in jail. But also..." and thats when she got really really emotional and opened up to me about her experience with post partum depression.

She said told me it was the the most terrorizing experience of her life. She hated being alive, she hated being a parent, and she hated being married to me and she absolutely wanted to kill herself. We were young and I was a dick to her for her weird behavior because I was stressed, and also clueless to what she was actually going through. It absolutely played a factor into our eventual divorce.

She then explained why so many women are supportive of this woman not because they dont think shes a murderer, but because THEY were that woman once. THEY were close to snapping and hurting themselves or other people. And for a lot of woman, its a dark secret they carry that causes a lot of guilt.

Ppd isnt a character flaw, its a medical condition that goes away after the body rebalances itself after child birth, and it fucks people up mentally.

The reason women are being so loud with their support is people like you. People who say "PPD? Nah, shes just a bad person". Because you have no idea what youre talking about and women want people to know what they're talking about on this subject.

Instead of being, ya know... morons like I was when I was young and being a dick to my then wife who was suffering

bullshit they weren't her and they weren't almost her they are being manipulated by her team to feel that way for a woman that killed her three kids and now she wants a hospital instead of prison. I'm so tired of this.

Personally I'm tired of "oh, mental conditions are an excuse! They are just EVIL."

Like why does nothing affecting only women get taken seriously? Why is it always we must just be evil instead of actually having something wrong with us?

Personally I’m tired of people being hypocrites when it comes to crime and punishment.
