[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. [/quote] 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. [/quote] [b]Yates and her husband were not in the kind of relationship in which the wife gets to have any choices IIRC. [/b] I haven’t heard anout this new case at all until this thread.[/quote] This. [/quote] +1. They had a Quiverfull type marriage, and her husband wanted as many kids as possible (which she was expected to care for on her own, because that's women's role), despite warning from medical professionals after she suffered PPD with previous children. She shouldn't have had more kids, but it wasn't a free choice on her part. It was a horrible tragedy. [/quote]
