@cbsnews: Lindsay Clancy's diary was read in court this week, giving jurors insight into her mental state in the months leading up to the night she killed her three children. Here are some of the excerpts read aloud in court. #trial #postpartum #masachusetts
for someone who constantly journaled, wouldn't she have left a suicide note?

Pat did nothing to help her. He wanted to go skiing and have his affair.

Why is the diary considered proof at all? She can write anything there in advance to justify herself in court...

He was a useless husband busy with an affair instead of his children. The real villain here is Patrick.

PPD is real and more people ought to be educated about it. It will drive a woman to exactly what happened here with no interventions or help. Is mental help just gonna be "pull yourself up by the boot straps", even if you're barefoot and bleeding???

“Months before she killed her three children”…. Seriously?!! She has not yet been convicted or acquitted….. I wonder why a reporter is already stating that she’s guilty of this. Defamation!!! INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

what was her husband doing while she was drowning in depression? did he help with the kids or leave it all up to her, did he exp to be served and waited on after work instead of helping her with kids? did he help with the housewor or leave it all up to her?

My best friend had a serious mental illness after her second baby. Doctors kept saying it was PPD. She had some similar experiences to Lindsay. Turns out it was a brain tumor that took months to discover because docs were just quick to dismiss her symptoms as PPD and prescribe psychotropic drugs.

Having two kids and currently being pregnant myself this whole case is heartbreaking 💔 That mom begged for help, and wasn’t taken 100% seriously and now she has to live with what she did in her mind every second of everyday and that’s a hell I don’t want to imagine. I can say I pray for some peace but I don’t think this poor Mama will ever have peace with anything. 💔😭 It’s ridiculous she wasn’t listened to and could’ve prevented this horrible tragedy, but I do hope that this case sheds light on Mental Health, Mental Health after having a child, and I pray if any Mamas are suffering from the same thing that they seek out help and is actually HELPED

I can’t wait for the defense to put on their side. I think we will see that she was the only one taking care of the kids.

why do people defend the mother, she murdered her 3 kids, the only thing I feel bad about her is her mental state but she still deserves to be punished
