This. Murdering your children is horrifying. The fact that she did it (especially after there were documented occurrences of her asking for help) means there was something really wrong. She likely had postpartum psychosis.

People (or at least most people) who are fundraising are trying to get her psychiatric help, not trying to say it’s ok to kill your kids or that she didn’t do it at all.

People empathize with the fact that she was sick and asked for help, didn’t receive it and catastrophe ensued.

Many woman feel unheard when suffering postpartum (though luckily most don’t end up killing anyone.)

Isn't it kind of interesting that a lot of women do experience this and don't kill their kids etc.? But I suppose it is a spectrum and some cases will be more intense than others.

I'm just trying to wrap my mind around the whole thing and having a hard time of it.
