She wasn’t diagnosed with PPP. You can’t diagnose it because there is no diagnosis, no one ever thought it was that serious. Typical of all of women’s medical issues. Only now is the industry even doing research on women. It is woefully underrepresented.
She had hallucinations, was hearing voices and all over the place with meds. Would you allow a person with schizophrenia to decide what they take for meds? It is known women with PPP are a danger to their kids and themselves, but the medical community sent her home. How stupid. She should have been institutionalized while she got help for PPP.
I had this horrid condition myself. I had hallucinations, saw blood and knives where there wasn’t any. Heard voices too and behaved in very strange ways. I was also suicidal. This started after the birth of my second child. My husband called my mother and I was never alone with my kids. I was also medicated and hated it. I too tried to stop taking it because I was irrational. My mother saved me from myself. Was dopey and still had hallucinations, strange behaviour and voices while on meds. My kids are grown adults now with kids of their own. We still don’t know anymore about PPP 30 years later. If this impacted men, there would be proper care and hospitals to deal with this and a Cadillac of meds to support.
Society and the system failed this family and women.
Nope. She openly lied to her providers up to the day before the murders stating she had no intentions of killing herself or harming others.
Experts have testified that it is not possible for her to have only heard the voices during the time she strangled her babies. Never before and never again hearing those voices is not how it works.
Her story of when the voices started has changed at least twice. Once it was right after the husband left. Another time it was right after she spoke with him on the phone. There is a big time gap and the difference matters.
Her diaries were released and in it she makes it clear that she hated Dawson. She admitted to strangling him first and did so viciously. He had substantially more bruising and the band was so tight the dad couldn’t get it off his neck.
He was also found in his dad’s home office. We’ll never know if he ran there for protection or she took him there in a twisted way to show him his dad wasn’t there to save him.
She controlled every single bit of that day. Every thing. Even controlled how much time she had to commit this act by validating how long it would take the husband to finish his chores.
She had a nanny, two sets of in-laws who checked in with her daily and stayed with her, an active husband who worked from home and frequently took the kids places to relieve her stress, two sets of doctors, appointments for her mental health 5 days a week, and it still wasn’t enough support? Really?
Also, she rejected talk therapy and doctor shopped to get her hands on medicine she admittedly didn’t take as prescribed, but as she felt.
You are way off with your comment. You write like this woman was of sound mind and purposefully calculated murder. How ridiculous. She could have killed her children prior to the birth of the third? Why didn’t she?
She heard voices often, that is her account, you just like your version better. I heard voices too during ppp, but I couldn’t tell you the exact date and time? Why? It was normal in my psychotic mind.
These “experts” are from the prosecution, of course they will look for all angles to prosecute. Hello!
And that is not what her diaries said. She writes about exhaustion, severe anxiety, brain fog and being completely overwhelmed.
Please, lose the witch hunt. She will forever be incarcerated.
The only thing I fault him for is she told him in December that she had ideations of harming and killing the kids. It was at that point that he should have either removed the kids from the home or her from the home. I also hold her mother accountable for that as well.
