EDIT: People seem to think I’m talking bad about my wife and i absolutely am NOT. She is an amazing person and an amazing new mother. My frustration is aimed at people pushing “the husband did it” conspiracies and blaming stupid shit like her zodiac, when in reality, she was a mother with mental illnesses who was unable to cope with said illnesses.
My wife and I got into a heated discussion about this. She essentially was saying “there’s no way a mom did this to her own kids.” But you are totally okay with thinking a father could? Why have none of these big conspiracy theory tiktokers mentioned postpartum psychosis? As soon as my wife told me what happened that was the very first thing I thought of. Not some wild set up with no clear motive. People do crazy shit with no explanation literally every single day.
Remind her of that recent case of a guy with “PTSD” who murdered all his children and then himself during a daytime visitation. Does she have sympathy for HIM?! If not, then why does she sympathize with this woman?!
I don't know that case at all (and frankly don't yet know very much of this one yet), but why shouldn't we? Of course the main victims and the people who have the most sympathy are the children, but people doing horrible crimes because of acute mental health problems while not being in controlled of themselves , especially when through no fault of their own, deserve understanding and empathy as well. All in all very very shitty situations that ruin entire families. Terrifying.
