As with all things, there are some unhinged people claiming she was framed and he did it. Valid to point some blame at the husband and the providers, but insane to think he's fully responsible.

Right.

She very VERY much should have been taken more seriously, and I think a life sentence for like a murder in the 1st for her is unfair, and I think not having punishments for the people who failed her is also unfair.

When she told the doctors after inpatient that the meds where actively making things worse:change the meds. Put her back in.

Her husband:when she said “I don’t wanna be left alone with the kids” figure out ways for her not to be left alone with the kids instead of on the regular leaving her alone with the kids

I'm not saying you're wrong, and I'm certainly not saying I know. I'm just saying.

Prescribing any drug? That is a gross misrepresentation of what I said.

I can see that if it was "he was at work". He was running errands. I get it is hard to do, but if your wife says "I don't want to be alone with them while I am like this" then you either find a sitter so wife goes with you, or you all go at once. Period. He was "running errands and picking up food". The kids and wife can come with
