When my twins were born, I remember looking down at them and thinking these aren’t even my kids. I had no emotional attachment. I was embarrassed about the way I felt, so I didn’t tell anyone. That was 17 years ago, and when I look back I should have told someone, but in the moment I was so ashamed so I told no one. My husband was a car salesman and was gone all day into 11 at night. I had no family to help and I had a 4 year old. I am so thankful I made it through without something like this happening.
He says the mother was cool calm and collected, but in the video he is acting exactly the same. He seems completely unbothered. He's so casual when talking about touching his daughter's dead body 😢. He doesn't seem to have had a strong bond with the girls. This case gives me Andrea Yates vibes.
I m a mother of 3, youngest is 3 month old. Since his birth I can’t watch any news or crime stories related to children. It hurts me almost physically 😩
This makes no sense to me. I don't understand how a spouse can forgive their wife or husband for murdering their children. How does someone make themselves do that. I really don't understand this at all Rachel also needs to be in prison or a mental hospital for the rest of her life. She killed 3 children. I don't care how she felt. She has to pay. A lot of women get post partem. They don't kill their kids. She's doing a lot of talking now. Why not before? It's sickening.
This is NOT a christian belief. Not in any way. This is African paganism , mixed with a phoney version of a pseudo christian system. Please,don't say this is Christian. Even a cursory look at Christianity would show you without a doubt that it's isn't part of Christendom.
Wow. I know I am years late but thank you so much for that message at the end. I struggled with postpartum anxiety following the birth of my twins. Then I got pregnant with my daughter when my boys were only six months old (maybe this is TMI but I was nursing and had sex once and yeah, I got pregnant again.) I almost died giving birth to my daughter and after that traumatic experience, coupled with the postpartum anxiety I was still dealing with since the birth of my twins, I went a little crazy. I definitely had postpartum depression and such intense anxiety, I started having extreme OCD. I was afraid that if I told my doctor, my children might be taken from me. There was also a big part of me that thought maybe this is just how all new moms feel. I am lucky that I have a supportive partner. He saw the cracks forming. He would come home from a long day at work and tell me to go lay down and he would feed the kids or do bathtime and bedtime routine. He would make me dinner and force me to eat it and would rub my shoulders. He started leaving me notes in the morning about how amazing I am and how I am superwoman and that I'm an amazing mom. Sometimes it's the little things that go the farthest. I started to slowly feel a little more healthy and sane. I started therapy and started seeing a psychiatrist and with every day I started feeling like my normal self again. Don't get me wrong, I still struggle. I have lasting effects from the postpartum anxiety. My sleep schedule is totally screwed. I go to bed most nights convinced that I am the worst mom in the world and I struggle with guilt on a daily basis. But I now know that I have people that I can talk to if I start to truly struggle. That's why Stephanie's message at the end is so important, it brought tears to my eyes. For a struggling mother to feel validated in her struggle, to feel less alone, to feel like less of a failure, to know that there are others who have gone through exactly what you're going through and made it out the other side, it envokes hope. Thank you for spreading such a powerful message. ❤
I have been slowly making my way through the wealth of your videos. This one in particular I am flagging, as help for women in Latino countries, who struggle under the weight of expectations for what a mother is supposed to be, and what your family and friends think you should be feeling
To defend my comment, post partum exists, but it is no excuse for this crime, regardless these poor babies are gone, the father said he feels dead inside. So she killed 3 people not just two.
With all due respect, what's all this "it's so hard to be a single mom" stuff. I had daughter who had half a brain removed then I had a new baby and my husband secretly had another woman pregnant. I had no job no money….knock it off. I can't make excuses for women. Women have been doing it for hundreds of years. You know what the problem is? We've grown too soft, oh poor me my life is over, I can't drink wine boo hoo, it's called sacrifice. Overwhelmed, try having a dying kid and new baby. Excuses excuses, this is age of of call the whambulance. Sorry, I can't get on this cry baby stuff. Sorry, but that's my view. Mental toughness.
So Rachel had a history of drug use, depression, and mental health issues and they felt confident enough to leave three young children in her care????? All of them failed those children.
The spirit spouses is also widely believed in Muslim faiths. You’re instructed to seek refuge from god and are told to not walk around naked or speak loudly and listen to music inside the bathroom as it will attract these spirits
I know serious post partum depression is so real!!! 😢I wish people would make this known. I’m lucky I has my grandmother because she saw signs and got me help. My grandmother took me to a clinic and it took sleep and 3 days of a break from three young babies!!? 😮
I had acute postpartum psychosis. It was during the pandemic so we couldn’t get any help. My mom and my husband just watched, helpless as I sat shaking, not eating or sleeping for four days. It was awful, and the trauma of it still affects me.
That 2nd case hearing the details what she did to those babies broke me. Hope she suffers so much for what she did. I just dont get how ppl can hurt a child
This breaks my heart. As someone who had PPD with my first i got rude comment like Rachael did from many including my BF im so glad thay i had coworkers n friends and family that were there to listen n even get on him about listening to what i was saying. I make sure to always check on new moms n always give the advice that if u need a minute take it even if its to leave them in their crib so u can step outside and take a deep breathe call someone to help or just get ur head on moms should always remind new moms that they need to put themselves first sometimes cuz if ur running yourself into the ground you cant take care of your babies. Best advice i was told. Them poor dads n families and them moms now have to live with this
Thank you so much for not promoting the narrative that “evil walks among us,” when there is a scientific explanation. I’m talking about established cases of postpartum psychosis and depression. People need to be taught that the brain is part of the body and things can go wrong with it that are nobody’s fault. Of course I’m not saying that no one is at fault for the children’s deaths, but it’s not as simple as premeditated murder. I think that when the father in the first story said he died when he saw his babies and still felt dead, he was describing his mental state. I suspect he went into a state of deadened emotions, to cope with the horror, shock and grief. I remember feeling “dead” or not real, after a traumatic event that I experienced at age 16. It wasn’t voluntary and I couldn’t stop it or “come back,” until I was put in a foster home. It’s a pretty common trauma response to feel so numb you aren’t fully experiencing your emotions. I don’t know all the facts of the case, but it’s possible the perpetrator in the second case had stimulant psychosis. It’s pretty common, especially with meth, because of the compounding factor of sleep loss. I know so many of us can say, “I did drugs and I never physical hurt anyone,” but in psychosis, your morals don’t matter. I’ve seen loved ones on stimulants, in psychosis, and it’s really not them making the decisions. Hearing the 2nd woman say that makes me wonder…
When my kids were little I joined a local gym and when the sales guy asked me what my fitness goals were I told that I mostly wanted to use their (free) day care so I could get a cup of coffee in their cafe and take a shower alone in their locker room. LOL I really needed that time.

Even if she believes the spirit world.. who is unmoved by finding 2 dead children in your living room.. and goes on about selling their organs?

I have agree, the first one I feel sounds like a genuine short circuit, the second is a selfish bitch who likely doesn't deserve free air
