  1. ​ @Lily_of_the_Forest  Actually, she just sounds nuts.

  2. Well, the good news is that she didn't kill anyone else, as opposed to Andrea Yates, for example. But committing suicide was still selfish. She should have checked into the hospital and gotten some heavy meds. Her children need a mommy.

  3.  @pippin3168  Oh, my. That is so awful. I will have to search out that case, although sometimes there are cases that I simply stop following because they are just too upsetting. (I must be getting old. True crime afficianados tend not to be bothered by such things, otherwise we wouldn't be here to begin with.) The poor husband! I can't imagine what he went through. I'm sure you remember when some people tried to place the blame on Rusty Yates, Andrea's husband, for his evil wife murdering their five children.

  4.  @pippin3168  I admit that I am not familiar with the name you mentioned.

  5.  @pippin3168  .....and I just Googled the name, so that I have it written down, in order to remember to search for it later on YT. Recent case! Maybe that explains why it is not as famous, because she has not yet gone on trial?

  6.  @pippin3168  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.
