[QUOTE=sweetr72]I just cant judge anyone in this situation..nope no way...
I suffered with post-partum depression and really had no clue. My mom told me at the time, my husband told me at the time. But I was mad that they said that. I felt that they were thinking I was a bad mother or something. I never went to a doctor and before long it was over. It wasnt until it was over that I realized I had it. What could my parents and husband do then? I am not sure they could have done anything differently..they sure couldnt convince me at the time to get help. I guess I am lucky that it wasnt severe.
Depression in any situation can make many people do strange things and I just dont think anyone is really to blame. It is a mental condition that needs to be addressed by a professional. Try to convince someone who you think is depressed to go get help..sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesnt.
I didnt live in their home so I dont know who did what for this woman. I am CERTAIN if anyone thought that morning that she was going to crack and kill her children they would have done something..obviously!! I am also sure if she KNEW how deep into a depression she was, and that her mental state was going to cause her to kill her own babies..she would have went for help.
I just dont know the whole story...just my opinion.
I agree...its not fair to judge. My mother suffers from mental illness and I worry that one day its going to happen to me. |
