[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s paralyzed.  she tried to slash her neck open.  She is so drugged up she was catatonic in court.  She likely tries to kill herself any chance she gets otherwise.  I don’t understand the vengeance on here.  This woman’s life is already a tragic forfeit.

I don’t care about vengeance I care about saving the next kids whose mom has a psychotic break.  Can’t we focus on supporting moms. Maternity care in our country is abysmal.  Daycare options are expensive and unavailable.  This is the bitter result when  people claim to treasure babies in uterine and treat their mothers like cattle.

Thank you.  Can we pin this post?

I had a psychotic break during post partum depression following the birth of my twins. I did not qualify for more than a stabilization visit to the hospital but my husband stayed home from work for 8 weeks and my elderly parents came to live with us to provide 24 hour supervision.  My inlaws paid for a night nurse for the babies for 8 weeks.  My husband is a doctor and he realized just how serious this was.  Who knows what would have happened otherwise.

If you knew me as a woman before or after this episode you would never in a million years think me capable of it.  Even when I was going through it (directly before and after the episode of psychosis) I was moving through life: breastfeeding, taking the babies to the pediatrician, going on long walks.  It wasn't like I was drooling or ragins or muttering or looking "off" or insane.  Nothing of the sort.  [/quote]

I’m so sorry this happened to you pp. I agree the misinformation and lack of understanding on this thread is astounding.[/quote]
