Honestly, IMO I think that when Darlie wrote in her diary: "My life has been such a hard fight for a long time, and I just can't find the strength to keep fighting anymore", that she was just depressed more so than normal due to PPD and she was having a seriously sad day. I think she was dwelling in her "misery" at the time and took to paper to let it out.
I think that Darin and Darlie had most likely been having major relationship issues for several months prior to her getting pregnant with Drake. It makes me wonder if she thought that by having another child that it would bring back the love that was possibly missing from their relationship. The money problems didn't surface until the beginning of 96 and Drake was born in 95.
I have a question: WHY were they planning on "renewing" their wedding vows in 98? IMO it seems a little strange considering how young they were and how long they had actually been married. I always thought that couples renewed their vows after 25 or so years or because they want to erase something bad that has occurred to the marriage and "start over" with a clean slate.
I think the tables had turned on Darlie. I think that Darin was playing off of the emotions Darlie was experiencing. And for once felt like the one in control of the relationship and where it was going. I think the loss of control in the marriage was Darlie's breaking point.
I don't think Darlie really wanted Drake. The books mentioned she went to bed and didn't get up for 3 days. So she was obviously NOT wanting a baby. Then she cheers up thinking she was gonna have a girl, and when the sonogram showed it was a boy she then went to bed for 3 weeks.
