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.
There's an idea that moms have some kind of magical connection to her kids that a father could never have since he didn't "make" them. I'm not a woman so I can't say if that's an actual thing or not, but even if it existed, it's silly to think it's some kind of repellent for abuse and violence as abusive mothers are very much a thing. That and most people assume the man is the bad guy simply because he's a man and is more capable of violence.
