[quote=Anonymous][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.

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.

It takes a man and women to make a baby.  Her husband was fully aware of her condition yet decided he couldn't wear a condom or pull out to stop having more kids? Was she allowed to have an abortion if she wanted one? Why didnt he drive her to a clinic then? Why is the man always blameless?[/quote]

I blame the man. I absolutely blame the man.

We have no idea what it was like within their marriage, but I'll be damned if I'm going to feel any sympathy for that man. Takeout or not. Can he not cook a meal at home? My STBX couldn't even figure out how to make me a pot of tea when I was recovering from childbirth.

F that. He was working from home to help with the kids. He was supporting the family financially while his wife was on medical leave from her job and he was making sure that she wasn’t caring for the kids by herself. He was taking care of dinner, not leaving it up to his wife. We have no idea how many meals he’d prepared himself. He left for less than a half hour. His wife was in treatment. Obviously, if he thought anything like this might happen, he wouldn’t have left her alone with the kids.

Let’s not pretend like his life wasn’t turned upside down by his wife’s medical condition. I’m sure he was exhausted, worried, stressed out, stretched thin, felt like he was responsible for holding it all together. He’ll regret leaving that night for the rest of his life. Unless some damaging information comes out about him, I feel nothing but sympathy for him.[/quote]
