This is my personal experienced opinion only. I know what a depressed mother feels like, I know how my husband reacts to that mood and how angry and resentful towards me and my son he can feel, on a small scale of course. When I feel depressed, or when I was post partum when I had my son, I didn't want anything but the best for my child, and I ignored and treated my husband a bit nasty. I became obsessed with other men, I admit. This is only an opinion, of a woman alot like Darlie. I admit I am vain, I am a clean freak, and I would have vaccuumed the floor before my kids slept on it just like she did, even if I was overcome with depression. I don't know where you did your research but I doubt Darlie was feeling ignored after Darin came downstairs with a pillow and a blanket, kissed her and told her to dream about him. He was obsessed with her, in reality his world was going down the drain, not hers. She deep down knew she could have any man she wanted. Darin told the paramedics this as well right after the kids were killed. If you would like to talk, thats great, I am all for other opinions, but don't knock mine, Honey.
