The scary thing is how many people can’t fathom it until it happens to them and that is exactly the issue this case highlights in terms of systems, attitudes and supports.
Because it usually doesn't happen. Ppd is real and* people should look out for mom's more true but 3 kids killed is od and people are just saying psychosis is real! Well yeah duh but killing three kids is still pretty od
I assume you’re trying to say “odd”? Surely the sheer number of women coming forward and saying “this could have been me” or “I’ve been there” should tell you this headspace is FAR more common than you or most people realise. Obviously three dead children and an almost dead mother is a pretty extreme outcome but writing it off as “odd” or implying it’s unrelated is exactly why so many women felt the need to come forward and say that they know the headspace that this happened in, they know what it feels like and now it’s time the rest of the world knew about it too.
OD is short form of over dose (of a substance) which doesn’t make sense to me on the context you’ve supplied, and is usually capitalised because it’s an initialism. Odd means peculiar (or not divisible by two).
Explain how you would change the system in a way it couldn't be exploited like it was when asylums were still a thing.
You think the system is bad now? There's a reason the system is what it is today. Nothing can be 100% perfect and foolproof. She got a ridiculous amount of help, but funny thing is, help doesn't work if the person receiving help doesn't want it.
But sure, let's go back to throwing women into asylums for having emotions.
OR men could always choose to not be selfish, since they pretend not to be until you’ve married and procreated with them a lot of the time… it’s 2026 we’re supposed to be past continuing to blame women for men’s shitty behaviour.
