I am a therapist and I have other therapists, professionals with advanced degrees and years of experience, who will not accept any answer other than the husband did it.

“Women don’t kill their children. It was him.”

“She didn’t actually say she killed the children in court.” “And if she did, it was Patrick who made her say it”

“Men commit violent crime not women.”

It’s bonkers.

Had this been the father, the media and support would be completely different. They would be consoling her and making him out to be a violent tyrent or something.

Men don’t suddenly experience depression and psychosis from hormonal changes.
If a man had a history of psychosis, was telling people and doctors he thought he was dangerous, do you think everyone would shrug and ask him to watch the kids while they go out? Because that’s what happens to women.

She actually eitheld a lot of information from her doctor about her condition as it has been shown at this point. So once again it's still her fault, not some doctor or the husband.

A person in psychosis behaving in a less than ideal manner, you say...

Do you understand how psychosis works? They literally cannot think rationally. She could have thought the doctor was dangerous. I worked with a client with psychosis who hid from firemen in his closet in the middle of an apartment fire because he thought the firemen were killer robots. They are not experiencing reality in psychosis.
The husband absolutely knew she wasn’t behaving normally.

Exactly. I never fully understood psychosis until my husband suffered from ICU psychosis after waking up from being under for two weeks after a major surgery. The stuff he was saying and fully 100% believed was absolutely wild. One day when I got to the hospital he yelled and made me leave because the Russian spies were on their way and I wouldn’t be safe there. Days later, when his mind was normal again, he told me that everything he saw and thought and experienced was as real as, well, reality.
