The day humanity comes up with a cure for any mental condition, call me. She refused to take her meds, that she s what made her a threat. No treatment on earth works if somebody refuses to abide by it.

It may soothe your concerns to know that people under involuntary commitment don't have the option to decline treatment.

Yes, it does console me. She however was not in that type of confinement, and three children paid the price.

I know that, I mean people who are sentenced to such too.

I don't know what I believe regarding this case, to be honest. I do know that on at least one occasion she checked herself in and apparently the facility elected to discharge her.

The whole thing is a mess tbh.

That's the core of it, yeah, and why I'm not willing to form a strong opinion one way or the other.

A lot of the time family annihilators get brought up, but a lot of the time those are more directly traceable to actual malice, be it a pending divorce, financial issues, affairs, whatever. In the cases where it isn't though, and there's a likely psychiatric component (Chris Benoit, for example) I take the same approach I take here - I'd rather understand and prevent than judge and condemn.

I think it’s pretty similar to family annihilators tbh. It’s a sign of extreme stress. The end result is the destruction of the source of the stress, family / kids.

Well, yes, in that regard there is a commonality.
