this husband is equally responsible for the deaths of his children. those living conditions were untenable and this woman did everything but draw him a map of what she would eventually end up doing. it does not excuse her in the slightest, but he is equally culpable.

I agree. The article title should more appropriately read
Yates lived by rigid schedule, set and enforced by husband.
Or something like that.

Yates lived by rigid schedule, set and enforced by husband.

Wait a minute here. This is free America. No one ever forces anyone to do anything, unless you belong to NOW.

This article is continued evidence that Andreas strange comments and behavior indicate that she killed the children as some kind of "payback" to the husband. I'd have to look up old threads, but her comments at the time can be seen in that light.

The husband appears to be hardheaded and the decision maker in the family. When he decides they could sell the house - they sell the house although she is happy with it. When he decides to sell the trailer, they sell the trailer. When he says he faithfully took her to treatments - I seem to see how he avoided seeing her deteriorating condition. How come a sick woman is only allowed three hours away from her responsibilities.

When told not to have more children, he would not give up what he wanted but went ahead. Looks like his vision is the only ruling force in that family and he chooses to listen or not to others opinions.

A wife walking around like a zombie with greasy matted hair and reeking is a definite clue that things are not working.
