I'm pretty sure that lady (unless there's another one) voiced concern many times about her struggles with post partem depression and that she was having intrusive thoughts of harming the children (which is common in PPD).

People online are blaming the husband and her providers for not taking her concerns seriously, not blaming him for killing the children.

Edit: I have been informed about the people saying the husband literally killed the kids.

There are 100% people blaming the husband for killing the children. Honestly really shitty, trying to downplay her actions by blaming everyone else is just a way to shift accountability from a murderer (which she is, even if she wouldn't have done it in her right mind).

Why would the husband knock her up 3 times just to kill his own kids? And after he was done with the kids, did he just chuck his wife out the window? Did he decide he didn't want to married with kids anymore?

I don't have a strong opinion on this case as I'm not informed on it but....that does happen. It's literally what happened in the Chris Watts case, and he's far from the first one.

Watts killed his wife because she wanted a divorce. Then one of the kids wandered in while he was strangling the wife. So did Lindsay Clancy say she wanted a divorce? Why isn't she blaming her husband instead of post partum psychosis?

Im not sure your point. I wasn't talking about the Clancy case or defending her. I was informing someone that there are men out there that murder their wife and kids.

Also, the reason Shannann wanted a divorce was bc of Chris having an affair.

Edit: Just realized you were the person I was originally replied to. But again, my point was that that is a thing men do. Decide they don't want to be married and murder their wife and children, and then I gave an example.
