[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like two things can be true here: She indeed committed a horrible terrible crime. Unthinkable. Horrific. She could also have been unaware of what she was doing and psychotic. Why can't both things exist?[/quote] Would you have the same opinion if it were, say, your nanny and your kids? After all, anyone can become psychotic and unaware of what they’re doing right?[/quote] NP here and I’ve been thinking about this a lot. I think people would not be so forgiving of a nanny. But moms are supposed to love their babies so much and not do this, so we’re tying ourselves in knots to justify it because we (not me in particular, but some on this board) identify with her as a mother in a way we couldn’t identify with a nanny. But the truth is, some moms do horrible things to their kids. [/quote]
