[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Hindsight is 20/20. She doesn’t deserve freedom.[/quote]

Agreed. Nonetheless, I feel empathy for her because her illness and the medication to no doubt played a role in the murders.[/quote]

How do you know that? She could just be a narcissist who had kids for attention and to use as social media props without realizing how much work having 3 kids back to back is. When things got too overwhelming, she decided to kill them and blame her meds. What else can explain her murdering her children one by one in the most painful way possible and her halfhearted suicide attempt? She clearly knew she wasn’t going to die and she wouldn’t have suffered even a tenth of the pain her kids did.[/quote]

This!  Her social media posts make me question who she is as a person.  Besides the fact she murdered her kids.  I think she was always desperate for attention. [/quote]
Which is exactly what most people on social media are after. She’s not unique in this aspect. It’s disgusting how narcissistic and attention seeking we have become, it’s shameful. I believe social media contributed in some way to her deteriorating mental state, it happens frequently with nonpregnant people. Everything has become a competition, even having babies is now a competition. It’s a vicious cycle, people see others on social media, want what they have,  feel like they aren’t as good or as perfect as these poseur a$$holes, then they lose themselves trying to attain the unattainable, then they go to their physician because they feel inadequate and anxious and depressed, then they go on social media to discuss their deteriorating mental state, and on and on and on….[/quote]

I think she is way worse than your average social media mom.  [/quote]
Yes, obviously, but she got sucked into the group think mentality that is now so pervasive. I am sure some of you on this forum are guilty of it as well. Posting mundane pictures for ‘likes’, like who gives a f$$$ what you had for dinner? I do not care, also I don’t care about your kids, I don’t care what silly things they are doing or how wonderful they are, how your perfect kids get along so well, I don’t care about your dork of a spouse, I don’t need to see your contrived generic outdoor autumn themed family photos, alternatively I don’t want to hear you complain and bit@$ about being a mom, I get it, I’ve been there done that too, woopee! Isn’t it getting old yet? Go read a book or clean your house or exercise or something. Get a life.[/quote]

I don’t post on social media but I don’t get why you minimized her choice and agency in all of this (she got sucked in? People don’t get sucked in, they choose to post on sm), and decided to write this weird diatribe against dcum moms who dare post. This killer lady is the problem, not the millions of people who use social media and function just fine.[/quote]
