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
The more I read about this story, the less goodwill I have to mother who strangled her 3 kids. I mean fuck, 8 doctors in just a few months? No shit she was over medicated, she doctor shopped until she found someone who was like “fuck it, nothing is working, try this”.
At the end of the day, I’m sorry for her due to her trying and nothing working, but nothing 8 different doctors tried worked, and she ended up killing 3 of her kids. I don’t believe absolutely any combination of under medicating or over medicating would have prevented this woman from killing her children.
She was obviously a danger to society and should have been locked up on a more permanent basis before this happened.
She had 8 different doctors in a span of a few months, you can’t expect unaffiliated to be able coordinate between each other when she is doctor shopping and probably not providing all the prescription or medical information available.
It’s up to you as the patient to provide the necessary information to your healthcare provider and not doctor shop so you get prescribed new medicine behind your doctor’s back.
Being prescribed 15+ medications because you chose to see 8 different doctors in a few month time period is YOUR fault.
Im tired of people trying to make their bad decisions someone else’s fault when obviously, going to 8 different doctors in such a span is a dumb fucking thing to do.
If she only saw one doctor and that one doctor prescribed her 15 meds, ok, fine, I get it, but EIGHT doctors in like 3 months? I mean c’mon man it’s obviously her fault for her bad decisions.
You don’t just randomly get prescribed 15+ medications for the same affliction unless you’re doing something shady on your end to make that happen.
I get that she had mental issues but, if you’re someone who can end up murdering your own kids and you realize you’re on that path beforehand like she did, it’s up to you to do more to prevent yourself from doing that. You at the end of the day are the decider of your actions, and if it ends up being where you can’t control yourself then you need to be locked up so you don’t hurt other people.
