@meghannmcuniff: Jurors in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial in Massachusetts on Monday (August 3, day 5) heard about journal entries she wrote about her children and her journey into motherhood.Clancy's lawyer Kevin Reddington highlighted some entries during his cross-examination of Cory Melo of Massachusetts State Police. Melo previously worked for the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office, where he was involved in the investigation into Clancy, now 35, killing her three young children at her home in Duxbury on Jan. 24, 2023. They included: "Doctor said it was okay to let him cry. I need to get a good night's sleep and take care of him, rocking him to sleep every nap in bed in the middle of the night." "He's still a very happy baby despite his sleep training. Why I feel guilty he's not really hitting his milestones, not rolling over, although he almost is! And he's babbling, which is a new milestone." "I have crazy brain fog. I feel like I can't make a plan. I can't carry it out, like I just live moment to moment, waiting for the next nap time. I'm terrified of Cal getting overtired now because I feel I can't help him." "I'm really worried about going back to work and not being able to function with the brain fog. I feel like I should start with a four-hour shift and see how I do. I can't tell if I am withdrawing from Ativan and Benadryl or is this my new baseline. I feel completely disconnected with my baby. I feel like I'm going through the motions every day." "I am completely overwhelmed trying to take care of the kids. I'm drowning every day. I feel guilty that I'm spending my family's money and not making any. I feel like I spend way too much." Clancy's defense is that she's not guilty by reason of insanity because she was experiencing postpartum psychosis. Her trial involves serious mental health issues and could distress people.
