I feel for the grieving father, but I can't get behind the comments where he is blaming this on depression. These days we are acting like depression is a sickness and making the sufferers blameless like they have no control. It's bullshit.
I can agree that depression is something to suffer from and it can alter your viewpoint, but it's not the source of what makes you murder other people. When I was in my twenties I guess you could say I was depressed and even planned my suicide out. I never got to that point obviously and things turned around and I found my answers, but never during that period was I thinking if I was going to take any of my family out with me. I know if I had kids there is no way in hell that'd be a consideration.
What I think of this mom is that she is a coward and a self centered individual. A lot of cowards and selfish assholes are great parents, friends, and families, because it benefits them and they enjoy the company of those around them when they are around to benefit from it. BUT, put a selfish, self centered person in the right situation, and they will show what is at their core.
This lady was drowning in her life, and she grabbed onto her two babies as she sank/drowned out of whatever selfish desires she had of not wanting to die alone. At her core she was a selfish, horrible person and it was all about her. Depression doesn't cause that type of response, it just backs a person into a corner and brings out their true nature.
She's just like this scumbag:
