How awful. Awful, awful, awful. Hard to fathom.
I forget that I'm older than the average person these days. (I'm old!) Yates probably happened 20 years ago, maybe more. IIRC, he was a very religious guy, and very quiet and reserved as well, and they lived in a converted yellow schoolbus or something. They blamed him for not being more proactive, knowing that his wife suffered from major postpartum depression, as well as for living in cramped quarters under those circumstances. As I recall, doctors instructed that Andrea Yates not be left alone with the kids, so she had her mother or mother-in-law (I forget which) with her at all times. I believe she sent away that shadow intentionally on some errand for just long enough so she would have the opportunity to drown all five kids in the bathtub. Starting frrom the youngest, the older ones knew what was coming, and were crying hysterically, begging her not to kill them. Of course my memory could be off, so I would have to check it up online. But it was a horrendous case, and received a massive amount of attention at the time.
