Postpartum depression is real. Childbirth wrecks mothers’ bodies and then there’s a whole new cocktail of hormones. Makes sense these other women would sympathize.

She’s guilty; maybe the extreme situation sheds light on a problem and the silver lining is more parents get better help.

She is not a victim in the slightest. Plenty of people have severe mental health issues and the vast majority never harm a soul. As for progressive women supporting her, shocker (but not really)…

Two things can be true at once:

Postpartum mental health is real, and deserves familial and societal support toward healthy outcomes.

That woman betrayed the most fundamental contract of the species, and placed her ills ahead of her vulnerable children; she is herself not deserving of sympathy, instead of the full weight of punishment.
