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.

Oh believe you me, I don't condone what she did AT ALL. I definitely think its unforgivable and unimaginable. And I agree..she did know what she was doing it when she did it. I was just saying that there was more to her case than post partum.

I am not going to touch on the case of Andrea Yates here..what you think of her is your business.

I just want to say that post partum despression isnt crap. Its real. And no I didnt have it for my first and second child...but for my third child I did. No rhyme or reason. No reason to be depressed at all at that time either. I had a wonderful life, wonderful kids. My thrid baby was my little girl after two older brothers..we were very overjoyed to have a little girl...but still I had depression. It probably lasted for about a month...maybe a little longer. But with that said depression doesnt happen because life is bad...it can happen to the best of us in the best of situations.

Just wanted to add my two cents..

Just to add..she also said that she planned the murders to happen. She knew her mother (staying with them at the time) would be out of the house and her husband at work. It was an opportunity and she took it.

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.

not according to tom cruis.. post pardum depression is all fake. well he's an
a**hole anyway... i would of took one of her kids if she didnt want them.
people who can have them dont want them and people who cant have them, would give them the world ( like me)... id like to smash her one...:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
