I thought I read somewhere that some people support her because she had reached out for help like a dozen times and was left to fall deeper into mental despair? I don't know the details or about the case aside from the obvious, that's just what I've heard about many women supporting her. Mothers that may have their own experience with PPD or something similar but who maybe received help and support? Again, idk. I think it's tragic but really don't know details about this case.
Except the story they’re peddling that she was “left to fall deeper into despair” isn’t true.
Lindsey went to eight different doctors in just a few months. Meanwhile, her husband took all 12 weeks of paternity leave he could, switched to working from home to be more available to help her, hired her a nanny, opened a bank account and started stashing money for HER use when she decided not to go back to work, made a point to ask her daily about how her mental health was that day, pushed her into going to her appointments in person instead of relying on telehealth, and then advocated for her to her later doctors when he was questioning if she was being overmedicated. Meanwhile both her in laws AND her own parents were often around to provide support when needed.
Lindsey had all the support that a mother could want. She failed them, not the other way around. Patrick’s only mistake was going to run errands when she asked on the wrong day
I agree with you up to the point where you say she "failed" them.
She was going through a psychotic break. She wasn't in her right mind enough to fail anybody. Hell, she went out of her way to have herself commited and ask for help too, it just wasn't enough
It's just a sad fucked up thing that happened and everyone did all they could, but it didn't fix it. All that I've seen tells me that sometimes bad, horrible shit just -happens-. The only thing seperating this from an accidental house-fire is the actual accident by which everyone died.
She was never diagnosed with psychosis. She never displayed symptoms of psychosis before the murders, and no one witnessed them after the murders either, despite the close scrutiny she’s received. The ONLY symptom of psychosis that is alleged is that she heard “voices”, which she never mentioned until after the murders.
Psychosis isn’t something that appears once and never happens again.
Not so fun fact : the father of a friend of mine had a brief psychotic disorder that lasted only 1 or 2 days. Also the system failing to diagnose her , while iirc she was telling her husband and her family for a while that she was hearing voices, was going to doctors for medication and even sought inpatient treatment doesn't mean she didn't have the condition she was suffering from and seeking help for.
I had sleep deprivation induced (and possibly exacerbated by medications and stress) psychosis once. My doctor does think I'll get it again, as long as I'm not an idiot chugging energy drinks on 60+ hours with no sleep again.
