"The father of a missing Washington state boy says his estranged wife's story about the case doesn't add up."

No kidding.
I'm watching our local news Kiro 7 and they showed court docs with allegations from her husband that she had told him she had dreams of strangling their younger child. That would be the child that is missing now.

:sick:
Again, just like her allegations against her, I don't know what to believe, however, I can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with her mental issues from before. I can't remember now, after reading so much today, was she hospitalized for mental issues? Or was this just why they were looked into from CPS (besides the Target incident, of course.) It is so crazy it is all mushing together for me now. I should have been taking notes.
Really? When was it she was supposed to have said this? Because I find it very hard to believe she would share this information with him. IMO it sounds like mud slinging he is making up. I mean, I really can't imagine sharing this with my stbx who I have accused of beating me and have obtained an order of protection against.
The only way this would remotely make sense if if she had some kind of ppd after Sky was born, which would be on record (but not disclosed to the public per hippa).
Why would dad say this outside of the context of mentioning it along with PPD if it was not intended to be mudslinging?

These people were at one point in love. Perhaps these dreams were disturbing to her and she confided in her husband, with whom she was still in love with at the time, for comfort and support. The news did not say when she had these dreams, could've been anytime up to their separation. The court docs said none of her allegations were ever confirmed after investigation. A psychiatrist stated she may have severe OCD, I don't consider that an allegation, it is a medical opinion of a doctor who has no reason to lie. I don't know what happened here but I'm much more likely to believe what the father is saying after finding out about the severe OCD. Never ever underestimate mental illness.

From above link: "I don't understand why she would leave a little baby in the car," Metalwala said. "The whole story is puzzling."
That sounds like one of us saying it, not the dad?!! Found it odd imo
I'm not a psychiatrist, but wouldn't a dx of wanting to harm a child come under the form of some kind of postpartum depression or psychosis and not OCD? :waitasec:
My gut tells me there was a lot of ugly bitterness back and forth between both parents and I fear this father will use this opportunity as a means to 'get back at his stbx' and not put the focus where it should be, on finding his child.
Who stated she was involuntarily committed? The husband? This might not be correct. Most of the time patients that are a danger to themselves or others are unwillingly taken to the ER, but they can be talked into agreeing to be admitted. She was likely admitted for her OCD symptoms.She was involuntarily committed, then declared "fine" at some point.
I have to tell you, from what I know, it's extremely difficult to get an involuntary commitment in this state.

Most psych patients have multiple diagnoses. If her homicidal thoughts just recently began, they will not fall under PPD as she is 4 years past her last delivery. She could have Major Depression with psychotic features, but there is no telling until the entire story is heard.

I think we are sometimes too quick to blame a woman's mental health issues on PPD.
So, JB was "more interested in cleaning the empty refrigerator twice a day" than feeding her daughter -- that's how bad her OCD was. FYI, OCD is an anxiety disorder and it sounds like hers was really unchecked. OCD compulsions (i.e. behaviors and thoughts) get worse in times of increased stress. Sounds like this divorce has been highly stressful. When OCD compulsions get to the point that they're interfering enough in your life that you're not tending to your kids' basic needs, that's a train that has run pretty far off the rails. (I'm a mental health therapist, btw).
Also, SM has made some pretty weird statements to the news -- he's kind of a creepy-sounding guy. But, at least he's made statements to the news (both addressing JB and the possible kidnapper/s). Why hasn't JB made a statement? From her POV, there are only 2 possibilities -- Sky walked off or Sky was kidnapped. Why isn't she appealing for his safe return?
yes, link provided in previous posts but here is another one . . .
Complicating matters is a prior incident at the Redmond Target store two years ago, where the parents left the same child, then just a baby, sleeping in his car seat as the two shopped. An onlooker called police. Sky was left alone for nearly an hour.
The boy's father admits it was a stupid mistake and can't imagine how his ex could have done it again.
