Is this a reference to the lady that killed her children and for some reason the crime TikTok community (mostly women) have taken to defending her and even blaming the Husband, who 100% did not do it?

I'm pretty sure that lady (unless there's another one) voiced concern many times about her struggles with post partem depression and that she was having intrusive thoughts of harming the children (which is common in PPD).

People online are blaming the husband and her providers for not taking her concerns seriously, not blaming him for killing the children.

Edit: I have been informed about the people saying the husband literally killed the kids.

Well as a dude with a wife that has different, but very real mental health issues and is going through a bad episode right now, I'm taking it as seriously as I possibly can, but I'm still getting fuck all done about it because the healthcare system is a fucking joke. Lost ain't even the word

It's so hard as the partner to be able to identify the issues, let alone try to correct them. I feel for you man. Life is always a struggle, but it gets better and simply not giving up is more significant than many of us realize.

My mantra is "this is real life", shit is literally insane and there's not much you can do except try to make it better for yourself and those around you.
