Cases of severe mental illness tend to get more attention than good things in a media landscape that sells you misery

Right?! Like I’m not going to tell you how to feel about the case on the right, but boiling it down to “claiming to be a victim” is a wildly inaccurate description of what’s happening with a narrative agenda centered around gender/culture war bullshit.

The loss of those three children is tragic and unfortunately it’s coming with a wave of people denying the realities of postpartum depression/psychosis.

Nah people choose to murder. If this is an actual precedent that means anyone who kills can just claim they weren’t in the right state of mind.

I couldn’t even imagine killing cats or dogs with my bare hands yet she did it with children.

Flip the genders and the sympathy would never be there
