There is a reason why people who are mentally unwell in prisons and hospitals get put on 5, 10 or 15 minute checks because they will harm themselves in an instant. And yet this guy leaves her alone for 25 minutes?

I really hate to tell you that the baby has also died. These innocent kids are the real victims. They did not have the ability to get up and leave. They were at the mercy of their parents

Postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis are different illnesses. This is a tragedy on the level of the Andrea Yates story which is very similar, right down to medical personnel making it very clear that the mother was too mentally unstable to be left alone with the children.

Me too. I truly do not understand how the kids were allowed to stay in the home with an actively psychotic person. ETA: you can believe if this wasn’t a well to do family in duxbury and there was a psychotic parent in dorchester these kids would have been removed

I see. So ppd is way different than psychosis.

Reply to Does anyone know of a reasonably priced painter in Boston? We are looking for a painter for our nursery. The best quote we have had so far is $950 for ceiling, walls, baseboards and 2 doors. $950 seems like a lot for a 10x14 room. by lolotaylo
Painters are in pretty high demand in greater Boston. Because they usually do all the prep at once, it ends up being disproportionately more expensive per sq ft for a single room than for a larger space.
For a single room, I'd try checking with a handyman too to see if they might do it cheaper, since they charge by hour of labor and the nature of their work means they may be able to squeeze in the waiting steps of painting.
DIY is also an option but when we did our place, with full time jobs and our (lack of) skill, it took weeks to do a few rooms. We hired a pro for stairs and for the rooms with vaulted ceilings and they finished in 2 days. So next time we are definitely just going to pay painters lol.

Just eat as many bars/gummies as you need to to feel full.

It is a form of psychosis which is what schizophrenia is. It is a break from reality with auditory or visual hallucinations. Psychosis is psychosis. Post partum psychosis refers to psychosis occurring after giving birth.

I don’t get the pizza run. Your wife is mentally unstable for the past 8 months, cannot work due to her mental status, attends an intense 5 day a week program for her illness and you have been told to not leave her alone with the children and yet you go out for 25 minutes to get take out??? WTF?

Yeah I mean there is a discussion to be had about how society truly doesn’t not care about there after effects of pregnancy and mental illnesses that can come out of it nor proving the necessary care, like all that is valid but it’s very disturbing how I have yet to see a post that sympathizes with the two fucking children dead, the baby who will be traumatized for the rest of their life and the husband who now has to live with the reality of two children dead and a baby holding to dear life and the murderer being his wife who will never see the outside world. I personally am always gonna have more sympathy for the kids.

Reply to comment by mistlet0ad in Parking suggestions for Downtown or North End for a tourist? by mistlet0ad
Park at Wellington or Sullivan Square and take the t in from there. Alternatively, the commuter rail from Haverhill or any of the northern stops that have parking. The North End is a PITA for parking if you aren't confident in parallel parking or dealing with buses, cars, bikes, pedestrians, and the occasional 3 point turn for the fire trucks in the neighborhood

You don’t see this level of sympathy when your run of the mill homeless mentally ill person kills someone.

I don't know anything about postpartum depression but I know my mom had it and did not kill me. So I honestly don't know. Other people say it's unbelievable what it can do to you.
Edit: I'm legit wondering why I am so heavily down voted. I am legitimately asking a question I know nothing about.

Am I cold, or are the social media posts going around about this story unnervingly sympathetic to her? Yes, postpartum psychosis is terrible. But she can simultaneously be a sick person who is also a killer.

Have the father or another friend or family member do it.

Not relevant to your situation but biking (e-biking) is the very best way to get around this coty

Oh totally, it’s definitely not the same. I guess I’m willing to deal because I’m not a picky poutine eater as long as it doesn’t have white gravy or cheese or some imposter shit

No. It is the same psychosis ETA: PPD is psychosis that develops after birth. But psychosis is psychosis. It isn’t a different kind of psychosis. It is usually temporary and will resolve unlike schizophrenia in which suffers have psychosis and hallucinations but that illness is lifelong
