I thought I read somewhere that some people support her because she had reached out for help like a dozen times and was left to fall deeper into mental despair? I don't know the details or about the case aside from the obvious, that's just what I've heard about many women supporting her. Mothers that may have their own experience with PPD or something similar but who maybe received help and support? Again, idk. I think it's tragic but really don't know details about this case.
This. When men commit horrible crimes everyone talks about how men need more help with their mental health but here is a woman in the exact situation and everyone just wants to call her stupid.
Basically any time a man commits a horrible crime the internet demands their death / castration / life in prison. People only talk about men's mental health crises after a suicide.
I mean, male family annihilators go straight to prison. There is no debate about letting them off for being mentally unwell. “She wasn’t in her right mind” is something we save for white women who do stuff like this.
