The jury in the retrial of Andrea Yates has delivered its verdict — not guilty by reason of insanity. If you read my post yesterday about the insanity defense, this is somewhat of a surprise. But I am thrilled, thrilled, thrilled. Thank you God. And bless the souls of those children.

AMEN!
Unfortunately, it took a tragegy such as the Andrea Yates case to start the eye opening process. PD can no longer be ignored.
BTW, nice page – great work.
i am so glad i found you! i felt so alone rejoicing for my prayers for her have been answered.my friend was talking about it today….. she was full of such hatred.she wasn't around when i went through mine.i had the postpartum psychosis and was lucky my husband was easy to talk to and helped me get to a doctor who could help.it was very hard to believe what was happening to me was not real. the voices were so….it felt an invisible person was talking to me.. telling me horrible things about the future and then i thought i was having visions of the future that agreed with the voice.i cant explain it any other way.i had the same feelings about my kids with the increasing feelings of inadequacy came the knowledge that their lives would be terrible and i was not capable of raising children and they would do horrible things or die horrible deaths because of my actions and the only way to save them from going to hell and ruining their lives was to take them. now i didn't do it but….the voices did become stronger more adamant and who knows what would have happened?? and i would never have done it just to get RID of my kids jeez no mom wants that if i wanted that i would have sent them to family.but i know what she was talking about.the age of reason. a lot of us who are christian are taught that before the age of 10 "the age of reason" our children will automatically go to heaven. after that they need to accept Christ and follow in his ways or they go to hell.in her mind…i cant say i know exactly how she felt but i came close. of course if you thought your children were in danger and you could save them?? if you could save their mortal soul by killing them and ensuring their place in heaven? in her mental condition it wasn't even a second thought. and the fact she knew someone would stop her so she did it when no one was around……just proves in her sick state the commitment and love she had for her children.now don't get me wrong. i don't admire her or anything i just have so much compassion and mercy for her. yes it is a tragedy for the kids but it is also a tragedy in a different way. we don't know if one of those kids would have been the person to cure cancer or aids…..but seeing everyone hate her with such venom isn't having to live with it and relive it enough?? thank you for your site.i am so glad women have a safe place to go for understanding.god bless you and all your endeavours to help us women afflicted with this unfortunate problem that no one seems to believe, in care about, or understand. sincerely,kristen
p.s. sorry this is so long and do we know how we could possibly contact her to show her not every is hate filled towards her and some of us are understanding and filled with compassion not just for her kids and her family but for her as well?
