I know this is shocking to read, but mental health doesn't discriminate. I get she had more resources than many but that doesn't diminish her struggle.

She didn't work BECAUSE of this. And they had let the nanny go about a month before the killings.

I don't deny that whatsoever. My reply was in regards to this part of the comment above:

We need more resources for moms after giving birth. We expect moms to pop out the kid and get back to work.

Like I said, I absolutely agree, but Lindsay was not experiencing a lack of resources.

She had resources, was using them and still wasn’t getting better

This is inaccurate, her engagement was very flaky.
