I woke up this morning to news reports that a mother here in Texas killed her two children because they had autism. I found the link to 911 call on a local TV station's website. I would love to read your comments on this one!
As a mother that has a case of the crazies I am mortified. My daughter lives with my mother because I am terrified I will go off the deep end and be one of these women that make the news. I made sure my child was safe. I am also flabbergasted that no one saw the signs. No one noticed she was about to break? I don't know if I feel bad for her or want to strangle her the way she strangled her kids. She deserves punishment - but what kind?

Oh. my. God.
I have goosebumps and NOT in the good way. That's terrible. That woman obviously needs mental help.

I know! Why did no one see this coming? It is chilling. Sad just sad.

Sooo....I don't have hatred for this mom. Sometimes, you need help that never comes.
But.
But as someone who has a misscarriage, every time I read stories like this I well up. I lost a baby that I never got to hold...but cannot imagine what I would do if I lost a baby that I DID get to hold. I can't imagine the grief, the loss. It makes this impossible for me to understand. I'm not fully able to understand where she's at. Miscarriage happens to millions of people but for me, it's made me unable to truly ever come close to putting me in this woman's shoes.

Wow! That's so sad; sad for her kids, sad that she didn't get help, sad that no one noticed.
