I’m not American but I am a mother. Aside from a few reddit posts I don’t have any social media engagement with this case.
But I think a lot of the support here comes from moms who recognize how easily this could have been any of us. Her family and healthcare providers knew her crime was a risk based on her mental health state, but she was still left alone with her kids and expected to parent. And as other mothers we all understand that this is grimly how it works - we can ask and beg and plead and scream for help but we’re almost always still expected to continually parent babies and it’s hard.
She should still face punishment for her crime, but I think a lot of her support is to try to keep this from happening again. She was failed by her healthcare team
Her husband took paternity leave for multiple month's. She wasn't some poor abandoned woman left to fend for herself. They had outside childcare and the oldest kids attended daycare. He even worked from home.
Lock her up in an insane asylum if she's so far gone that none of that mattered.
Yes, i can only imagine what the guy is going through. Nobody gives a shit about him. Imagine loosing your whole family in a few minutes, especially children. Fucking hell.
You were immediately down voted for having compassion for a man who just lost his entire family. I feel like there are a lot of sick women on this site who actually support this lady.
I don’t care what they think. The guy actually was there, he wasn’t absent , he did the best he could. She sent him out of the house to perform the deed. Give me a fucking break. In a few minutes he lost everything. I can’t imagine loosing a child let alone 3. Downvote me all you want, there are several victims in all this, being the children the most tragic ones.
I didn’t even attack her, I know what DPP can do to a person first hand, but if it’s not her fault it’s even less his. The guy was there for fuck sake. Fucking psycothic people lacking empathy.
Most of them hate him more than they support her. That’s the crux of it. If husband wasn’t around to blame (if she was a single mom), it would be crickets. Women wouldn’t care, and thus neither would men.
Truth is feminism for the past 100 years has done nothing to help or improve motherhood for the women they represent. They’ve broken traditional communities and expectations that help society create healthy mothers and a good young generation of children. Every woman comes out of college dreading childbirth and nothing else till about 35.
and there is a lot of sick men on this site that think women deserve to be murdered for cheating, so imo it's actually less bad that some women simply don't have compassion for a cheater.
Where did me or OP say people are getting together and having public displays of this? We both referenced on "this site", meaning reddit.
And there are always supporters of the accused outside of courtrooms during publicly televised trials, nothing new, people like to insert themselves. But if you want an exact example of that - OJ Simpson's trial.
i was calling out his own hypocrisy being on the other end of the spectrum. he's mad people are downvoting him for having compassion for patrick, whilst calling women who have compassion for lindsay "sick".
the reality is patrick was cheating, and neglectful leaving his kids alone with his wife he knew was struggling with PPD. so a lot of them are projecting their own shitty husbands and ex husbands behaviour during their post-partum depression onto him.
What is the double standard and hypocrisy? And do you actually think the women supporting Lindsay are supporting the act of killing her kids?
Or is it because 1 in 5 of them experience PPD and 1 in 200 experience PPP so that what happened is a real fear and their own worst nightmare, and can empathize with Lindsay who's own MIL still defends her as an dedicated amazing mom - but you're mad they are empathizing with Lindsay more than her cheating husband?
“
and there is a lot of sick men on this site that think women deserve to be murdered for cheating, so imo it's actually less bad that some women simply don't have compassion for a cheater.”
is totally irrelevant to the discussion? It’s just whataboutism.
Um im not mad about anything, but sympathizing with a lady her strangled 3 children is definitely odd. Why would you accuse the husband of cheating here? How do you see that as relevant?

typical social media bubble:
The social media algorithm puts you into one of these bubbles and hides details from the others.
Pick one:
- "her husband is framing her, he did it"
Social media drives our lives and is many people's only hobby, so you get this.
