There's postpartum depression and there's the much more rare postpartum psychosis. My sister in law had postpartum psychosis after both of her kids. It's scary, they can see and hear visions that they cannot differentiate from reality. In her head she heard something, I think angels, telling her really, really bad things and saw the world literally on fire, burning all around her. and to her it was all as real as the sun in the sky. She cried and prayed all day, every day and didn't talk to anyone about her inner torment or what the voices were saying to her until they were able to get it under control, and even then she came back to normal but never ever speaks about what she went through.

I think this woman had the same thing. They'll get it under control and then she will live in the hell of knowing what she did. It's awful, all of it.

Please clarify -- do you mean you think that you recall reading that she thought she envisioned angels? As opposed to you thinking that actual angels of God would do such a thing?

I think you’re correct. That and her attorney is beyond excellent and would not have taken the case if he wasn’t certain he’d win. There are no winners here. Nothing will bring those kids back and no prison could be worse than the one she’s already in. Not guilty by reason of insanity. Then all eyes will turn to the doctors.
