04/12 Twin Tug of War

Quote From: cashee

HG is not a mental illness. This disease can lead to post traumatic stress disorder but this illness does not mean that she is or was "crazy" . I highly doubt that she is mentally unstable. She obviously needed help and didn't know what else to do since the only "assistance" she received was pressure to sign over her children.

 

 

I just want to clarify what I wrote. I meant that I highly doubt she is mentally unstable in the sense that I am sure she is sane. I do not believe however she was stable enough to sign adoption papers.

I don't think it was HG ALONE that led to her doing what she did.  I think she had PPD.  I know what HG is, and I think it merely contributed to her behavior.  I don't think a stable person would have done what she did.

Not saying she's "crazy"...

This is why it's such a touchy subject.  You have a lot of women advocating for Allison (which is good), but you have a lot of women thinking with their "mommy" empathy.  I'm advocating for not only Allison herself, but for the safety of her children. 

 

We don't really know Allison's state of mind at this point, or if she would even make a fit parent.  I don't know her personally, but I know what happened, and I'm using that to go on.  She needs help for what the HG DID to her mentally and possibly PPD.  Would you give children to a woman with PPD who seems unstable?  It's the same situation with her, she needs treatment, NOT to sit in a jail cell.

 

Meanwhile, those children NEED care...who should get custody while mom is in prison/going thru treatment?

HG is not mental illness, but Allison seems mentally ill.  Hopefully, they will give her a complete psychological evaluation before giving the twins back to her.  And, any kind of foundations for HG should have made such considerations before making her their poster child.
