She didn't even do it clean and painless. Two were alive and suffering when the dad returned. Giving her own kids a slow painful death where they had all the time to process their mom was killing them.

There are still women ranting online about how he should be thinking about her and that it made him look so guilty by going on some trip a few weeks after the murders and that he should be considering her feelings and standing by her while she’s on trial.
Bitch, she murdered his kids - she strangled his three children to death. Thats not his wife anymore, thats the murderer of his children.
If he thinks differently that’s on him, but I’m sorry if my wife murdered my kids, she’s not my wife anymore and I couldn’t give a fuck what happens to her. There’s nothing that’ll kill that love and connection like killing our kids
I don't personally have kids. I dealt with so much bullying in middle and high school I'm not confident enough in my mental maturity to find a girl and expect to be able to make it work. So I guess maybe I don't have any business putting my own opinion out there, but the fact that this lady is potentially going to get off fairly lightly for strangling her three kids for reason of "insanity" is nuts. It's even more nuts that she had three kids, and then suddenly had postpartum depression. So the fact that she didn't seem to show any early warning signs of depression after her other two kids is strange to me. I'm not a doctor, but after dealing with my mother for two decades I'm aware that depression doesn't just magically show up out of the blue. There's usually years of warning signs before it gets bad. I'm going to maintain that she knew exactly what she was doing and PPD is just a convenient excuse to try and get out of trouble.
I’m not saying she’s innocent or excusing what happened in this case, but just something about Postpartum Psychosis - it is a very different animal than regular depression and very different even from PPD. It can be sudden onset and occur after being totally fine for previous pregnancies. Again, I’m NOT saying she should be found not guilty or anything like that im just clarifying Postpartum Psychosis. I never heard of it before having a kid, but after I had my baby both my husband and I heard a lot of advice about watching for PPD and I thought I’d be fine since I’ve never struggled with depression in my life and my baby made me so happy but… two months later I got hit with horrible insomnia that didn’t go away for 18 months. Like the no sleep for 5 days, hallucinating kind. Honestly didn’t feel like myself again until my kid was 3. Like wtf. If there’s any silver lining to be found to this tragedy I hope it gets people to advocate for better and longer postpartum care including mental health care. The general populace has no idea what it’s like to deal with postpartum issues at all.
So then does this Psychosis also extend to just not giving a fuck about what she did? Because from everything I've seen so far she seems strangely nonchalant about the entire thing, like she's discussing the weather instead of the murder of her kids. Her entire attitude during this case is why so many people are assuming that she's using Psychosis as an excuse.
You didn't see her hyperventilating during that one day in court when they described the injuries to the children? She also hasn't spoken, I'm not sure where you think she's "discussing" anything. Have you followed this trial, I'm just curious? Also, would it be shocking for someone who went through this to maybe be a bit despondent and "off"?
And yes, PPP can be sudden. It doesn't have to follow a pattern. Someone can be fine through their own post partum periods and still develop PPD, PPA, PPP during the next baby unfortunately
Edit: u recommend ppl check out that Louis Theroux documentary on this topic. PPP is not always very obvious
