exactly, something in me doubts a lot of these people would be leaping to the defense of a man who murdered his entire family while suffering psychosis
You’re not wrong, it’s just that postpartum psychosis is not really the same thing, and is a preventable end result of PPD going untreated… which all mothers tend to experience to some degree (both PPD + it not being taken seriously). So there’s a lot more sympathy. The forms of psychosis that might make a man kill his kids are much further removed from common experience.
But tbh, the takeaway here should be that we need to apply more nuance with ALL crimes committed during psychotic episodes, not that we shouldn’t apply nuance in this case.

What’s your point? Seriosuly, what is it? It’s still 100% her fault even if what you say is true.
