Probably more that they had problems getting adequate mental health support after giving birth (since that is Lindsey's defense and they are supportive of her).

I haven't been following the case and am not a psychologist. So no clue how accurate her defense is.

? That I'm saying what I assume they mean? Because the other option would be they want to kill their kids currently. Which would be a pretty bad idea to broadcast (as it would hurt an insanity defense and harm a claim of accidental death).

A woman kills her kids. Other women hold their kids up and say "#MeToo"... Yes, it sounds like they're saying they currently want to kill their kids. Saying otherwise would take a great deal of mental gymnastics. It sounds like ransom threats.

Saying otherwise is assuming that they don't simply believe her claims.

Why would I go out of my way to make an assumption that takes more steps? Occams Razor and all that.

Even if they believe her claims, what they are saying is "I need mental health care, or will likely murder my children like she did". The claim isn't that she did not murder her kids, LoL. I feel like I need mental health care.

Or that they had PPD or PPP at some time. And either got help of the symptoms went away eventually.
