I am normally very quiet in this forum, but this topic makes me want to voice myself.
Everyone has heard that suicide is a cry for help. This poor woman was crying and crying for help. Where were her family or friends? Do I condone what she did? No. But I hold her family and friends equally responsible for the deaths of these little kids. Her husband knew that she had problems, was suffering from PPD and other things, and kept getting her pregnant without thought to her body or mind. She allowed this too. Then her family and his... where were they??? Where was a kindly neighbor or preacher or anyone? Have we all become so self-involved that we no longer want to know anything about our neighbors, aren't willing to stick our necks out to offer help to folks we see, maybe a little kindness? Was there no neighbor who wondered about her after a couple of emergency visits, who might not have stopped by to chat and offer to watch the kids for a minute for her?
I'm sorry but I feel strongly about people who can kill babies, no matter what the reason. Struggling to have my own makes me want to hurt those who so callously kill such precious gifts. And it's not only the mother here to blame.
Stepping off my soap box....
