Although Andrea is totally guilty and should have to endure cruel and usual punishment for the rest of her life.
I still can't help but think that the husband, family, friends, dr's and anyone else who knew or even suspected should have some blame in this.
It just proves to me how inadequate mental health care is. How families hide from it rather than deal with it straight on.
I'm confused because although I never felt like hurting my child - a year ago or so I was afraid that I would. Like afraid to have the knifes out on the counter or my husbands guns were in the house.
My question is if I have had these thoughts, but have not acted on them. What should my punishment be? I know its a crime and morally wrong, so if thats so than I'm just as bad as her and should be put in jail. If you can't tell anyone how you really feel... what are you supposed to do? And with no insurance, then what?
Ok you can tell me to shut up
