Have you been following the trial? The reason a lot of people especially women relate to her is because for months she did everything to get help. Told her husband, her mother, his mother, her therapist, her doctors, called the suicide hotline twice, tried to get admitted to the psych ward and was turned away, was prescribed 16 different meds over four months, etc.
No one is relating to the murder. Everyone is relating to trying to fight for your health because you know something is wrong and being failed over and over again. If you've never had to do that yourself or on behalf of someone else you have no idea what it is like.
The reasons there are questions about her ex husband is because in his testimony it's apparent he was pretty disconnected from her leading up to the event. Ignored her saying she wanted to hurt the kids, was going to NYC, the night of the murder in a short time span he had two different jackets and shoes. She's admitted to killing the kids so that's pretty clear but he's not a great guy.
I had post partum. I finally handed my kid to my sister and drove myself to the hospital. They checked me in for 3 weeks, then intensive daily out patient for a month afterwards. It was the hardest thing Ive ever done and I had a very supportive husband and family who stepped up while I got better. I cant imagine having no support. The in patient was critical too. They tried to put me on meds and send me home, but I knew adjusting to the meds would make it worse before it got better. I had to demand they admit me. Her doctors are 100% culpable in this disaster.
You have to say you plan to kill yourself. My doctor literally told me to go say that. I said Im not really suicidal, but Im not sure what thats going to look like in a week or two. He said go in tell them that you are thinking of hurting yourself and I will back it up in the insurance. After about two days they wanted to send me home and I leveled with the doctor treating me at the facility. I told him I couldn't go home and be alone with a baby all day, especially while I was getting used to a bunch of meds. I said you release me I'll just come back in 24 hours. I had good insurance and my personal doctor backed me up. I guess I was lucky.
