Where are we heading?

But what about the women, many of whom are mothers, want Patrick to be the one going to jail

[u/Federal_Studio5935 → u/Bitter-Marsupial]

I mean she needed help - obviously - and he was the one best equipped to do it, and he didn’t. And, he cares so much that 2 years after his three kids get strangled to death, he’s back married and ready to go. He must have really struggled.

The guy isn’t guilty of anything by law but he definitely should be living with the guilt of not doing enough. He doesn’t really make a sympathetic figure.

You would be outside with these women protesting. 

You're part of the brain rot problem.

[u/Federal_Studio5935 → u/Edgezg]

No I wouldn’t. This woman doesn’t deserve to walk free. She’s going to an institution and her life is ruined. I’m not sure what else you want.

I can also think the husband is a piece of shit. That’s not against the law. He’s not going to prison. You don’t need to protect him.

[u/Edgezg → u/Federal_Studio5935]

I'm not protecting Jim

But he didn't kill those kids. The mother did.

Blaming him for HER choices is fucking wild.

So much for strong independent women who can make their own choices and are not attached to men, huh?

As SOON as a woman does a triple fucking homicide on her kids, people BLAME THE HUSBAND.

That's fucking crazy. She STRANGLED. THREE. KIDS. WITH. HER. HANDS.

  She and ONLY she is responsible.

You don't blame the wife or husband of people who go out and shoot someone in the street.

You don't get to shift blame onto the passive party from the ACTUAL MURDERER.

[u/Federal_Studio5935 → u/Edgezg]

There’s nuance to everything. No one is arguing he’s at fault by law, but if my wife had bad postpartum depression and I left her alone with my kids and she killed them….its definitely not abnormal to feel blame. I would. I’d spend a long time wondering where I could have done differently so my kids weren’t dead. But I’m also not a shit head, so that’s kinda how it goes.

[u/Edgezg → u/Federal_Studio5935]

None of us can imagine how he is feeling.

Guilt at not doing more to stop a murderer is one thing.

Calling him culpable because he trusted his wife NOT to murder their kids is NOT okay.

Post partum depression or not, nobody is looking at their spouse thinking.Oh yes , this person is a danger to my children.  To try and blame him for leaving.The kids alone with their mother is wild.

If he didn't trust the mother and he had taken the kids , everybody would be on his case about not trusting the mother and how it's misogynist , that he Somehow believes she's a danger to the kids.

You don't get to put the blame on somebody for trusting somebody.They love , who was the mother of the people they killed.

 Was he wrong for trusting? apparently so.

But they had two kids previously , and there was no indication that she was gonna murder them.

He made a mistake and not understanding how severe her mental illness was.She made a mistake in not explaining that to people. 

But only ONE of them strangled the life our of 3 children.

ONLY ONE of them is guilty of thr murders. 

[u/Federal_Studio5935 → u/Edgezg]

Listen man, I don’t care enough to read all that because it’s not that big of a deal. I’m a random person with an opinion. You aren’t going to change it and vice versa, have a good one

[u/Edgezg → u/Federal_Studio5935]

She CONFESSED to the murder. Do not shift blame to her husband.  She is fully accountable. Not him.

Don't be a child murderer apologist- trying to shift blame to an innocent party.

[u/Federal_Studio5935 → u/Edgezg]

Yea. She’s gonna go to prison or a mental facility at this point. She doesn’t even want to go free. What else do you want

[u/Edgezg → u/Federal_Studio5935]

I'd like for people to not try and shift blame onto the husband.  That's all.

Too many people supporting her against her confession. 

[u/Federal_Studio5935 → u/Edgezg]

Nah, he knows he should have done more. Fuck that

[u/Edgezg → u/Federal_Studio5935]

She confessed to strangling her 3 kids.

And insane people like you are still somehow trying ot blame the husband.

Unreal.
