[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is sympathetic to either of them. Maybe they are paying lip service to sound enlightening, but only a monster can murder their own child. [/quote]

I have no idea who this Clancy person is, but Andrea Yates gets [i]a lot[/i] of sympathy. Tons.

Really? I don't remember that being the case. I remember hearing that she was told not to not have more kids due to previous post partum depression. yet she still chose to have another child and it out her over the edge. I think she was judge pretty harshly for this.

It takes a man and women to make a baby.  Her husband was fully aware of her condition yet decided he couldn't wear a condom or pull out to stop having more kids? Was she allowed to have an abortion if she wanted one? Why didnt he drive her to a clinic then? Why is the man always blameless?[/quote]

I blame the man. I absolutely blame the man.

We have no idea what it was like within their marriage, but I'll be damned if I'm going to feel any sympathy for that man. Takeout or not. Can he not cook a meal at home? My STBX couldn't even figure out how to make me a pot of tea when I was recovering from childbirth.

I think your personal feelings are getting in the way here. The wife was in a 5 day a week program. That means the doctors did not deem her a danger to herself or others. Otherwise, she would have been committed. The doctors should be blamed here! Shameful.[/quote]

Pp one for all you know she could have insisted on a particular restaurant for food and pressured him to go out. Dating he needed to trust her. She was better no longer in treatment. Etc.

Pp two for all you know she could have manipulated the doctors as well. She was a professional specifically skilled in women in childbirth meaning she would know what buzzwords to use to be medically cleared.

Do you both see how that works? Just speculating.

At this point we only have enough facts to blame Lindsay herself. She was the one to kill her kids. It's upsetting to know a mother can do this especially a mother whose demographic many here identify with. It's easy to want to lay the blame elsewhere.
But as of yet until more facts come out. She is responsible. What consequences she or others will face have yet to be determined.[/quote]
