[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course his comments are 'off'.

He just had his family and life obliterated in the most traumatic 30 minutes of his life in an incomprehensible way by the woman he loved. Nothing makes sense and it must seem so unreal that this happened. He just had left sitting by his dying baby's bedside for 3 days. On top of that he has the world watching and talking about them all and likely a thousand other things to deal with.

None of it makes sense. I am sure his emotions and thoughts are a washing machine and a blur right now. It is amazing he was even able to sit and write a well articulated article to tell the world about this family and to ask them not to add more pain and hate to his plate right now.

What is an 'on' comment given the situation?[/quote]

Well I think it’s off that he commented publicly at all. That’s all fine for a eulogy I guess, but weird to share with the world. And like you said he had just come from watching his last child die. That was the the first thing he wanted to do? Write a public statement?[/quote]

I know people who know them. First: Please don't judge. Who's to say what's "weird" in this situation? There's not a handbook. The reason he "shared with the world," I surmise (he actually shared with a GoFundMe page), is because the media attention has been enormous but, more to the point, because he's received a massive outpouring of support on GoFundMe, and he acknowledged it. Perhaps writing what he did was therapeutic.

Again, I'm unclear as to why anyone feels equipped or entitled to judge his response.

I’m so tired of people being judgmental about people who judge. You judging me is no different than me judging him. We are all entitled to our opinion. You “knowing someone who knows him” doesn’t give you any more right to comment than anyone else. [/quote]

The thing that's tiresome about judgers like you is that all of your judgment is predicated on the belief that you would NEVER do any of the things that Lindsay Clancy and Andrea Yates did and that you know exactly how you would react if your spouse did them. It's certainly possible that Lindsay Clancy is the depraved methodical killer that PPs are describing. But it's also possible that she was very sick at the time of the killings and was in no way psychologically able to understand her actions. That actually COULD happen to any of you postpartum, and postpartum care in this country is bad enough that no one would know how sick you were until it was too late. [/quote]

If I murder my 3 children (one of which I can't actually conceive) I fully expect to be in jail for the rest of my life. My children didn't deserve that and insanity or not, I've given up my right to freedom. I destroyed at least 4 if not 5 lives. [/quote]

+1 you would expect a life sentence because she could do it again to anyone.[/quote]
