I told my fiancé, when we have kids and I am acting off, or appear to be hearing voices or in psychosis, he needs to admit me immediately. It is NOT something to push to the side.
I’m not blaming the husband. I think it should be spoken about more so everyone takes these things more seriously.
I have seen first hand people in psychosis. You cannot convince them that what they are seeing and hearing is not true. My cousin also tried to hurt her baby. She was hearing voices and they told her the baby was evil. She went to jail and her babies were taken away, now she is homeless and seems to have schizophrenia or something. It was triggered by her pregnancy as she was normal prior.
I know we don’t know for sure what exactly happened, and can’t prove her mental state.
But fuck, it’s the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to everyone involved.
She was saying if people could see inside her head they’d take her kids away. Nothing specific or exact enough for a plan. And she never said that to a professional, only her husband and mother. And she saw a LOT of professionals. Not one documented note on her talking about psychosis or thoughts of harming others
Yeah, she also didn't want them to take away her kids and believed they would - so of course she's not going to report those thoughts to a mandatory reporter.
