[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts speculating about whether she abused her kids beforehand seem to be in poor taste. Nothing has come out yet. She suffered from mental illness and was on a cocktail of very potent medications, as well as treatment 5 days a week. She knew there was a problem. Many postpartum type issues manifest themselves as intrusive thoughts, as do many side effects of the medications she was on. Nothing gives anyone a free pass for murder or abuse of children. But it also seems distasteful to speculate what someone with mental illness might have done before they were ill and [b]presumably a typical parent.[/b][/quote] But why do you presume that about her? Someone who brutally murders their own kids is likely NOT a typical parent, even if the murders can be attributed to mental illness. Mental illness is often a long struggle not a spur of the moment bad decision. [/quote]
