There is/are never justifiable reasons to take the lives of your children ( or anyone else too), but no matter what some people will say about having no sympathy for the mum and seeing the whole situation as black and white , I want to give my own opinion and say that there are ‘grey’ areas.
I am the mother of twins and I had no support whatsoever other than my then husband and there were times that I felt so desperate and overwhelmed and without sleep because as one twin slept, the other woke and vice versa and I didn’t aldi have to cope with a move to another country and quarantine to boot ( albeit I did have an accident that left my paralysed when the twins were 18 months old and unable to walk and having to learn again ). I don’t care what anyone says, unless you have experienced having multiple births and then you throw into the mix a lack of support and a new country etc plus the possibility of PPD or PND as it’s often referred to and being overwhelmed and your thoughts racing and feeling inadequate and your mind being so out of control and not knowing what is going on around you , tending to your children on automatic pilot …
Plus I also want to add - I don’t know if mum had IVF but I’ve read many articles that have alluded to it . Although I wouldn’t have changed my decision to have IVF , I wish that someone had told me about the negative effects that the IVF process can have on your mindset. I say this because in order to have IVF, over 3 weeks , you take drugs that put you through the menopause ( in just 3 WEEKS!!) so that the DRS can take over your body artificially. This left me so out of control and I didn’t know what was happening to me . But it didn’t end there, it continued right after they put my body allegedly back to the way it was after the successful IVF ( which I will be forever grateful for), but it didn’t put my mind back to the way it was and I have NEVER felt the same since , in fact it got worse. My hormones have never been able to be totally regulated as they once were and the negative mental effect has been drastic and my husband and I ended up divorced. So although it’s a desperate desperate tragedy, as the saying goes, walk a mile in this ladies shoes and then comment because clearly, from what I am reading, she’s not done an Andrea Yates, it appears that she has lost control of her mind, temporary insanity , due to a multitude of factors but I wouldn’t be surprised if she has undergone IVF, that that has contributed to it too. We judge with our rational mind as outsiders but the likelihood is that when she committed these murders, she wasn’t thinking with a rational mind . I don’t really recall a lot of the first couple of years with my twins because of the stressors I underwent and I’m not saying that this gives her an excuse , it doesn’t, AT ALL, but we have to consider the whole picture as to how this terrible tragedy happened . God bless you little children, may you RIP
