I hold Andrea's husband to be just as responsible for the death of their babies. He chose to look the other way. Andrea needed help. She needed therapy, a housekeeper, time to herself and medication. And he looked the other way. If there were justice, he would be in jail for failing to help the mother of his children. I hope she gets help and gets out of prison on insanity. Her husband has got to be held accountable. And we need to educate ourselves about PPD. The deaths of these children could have been prevented.
But too many people want to look the other way. No one wants to admit that something as wonderful as a baby can make a woman depressed. Women feel guilty if things are not all rosy and perfect. Husbands just don’t always understand. It takes courage to share personal experiences like Post Partum Depression. Thanks Kristin!
If I chose to have a baby someday, I know that because of women like you, there will be help and awareness if I need it.
