Dear Abby | Former Spouse Accused of Murdering One of Her Offspring
The letter writer says the ex is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity and is supporting her mother after the arrest.
- Following her arrest for first-degree murder, the mother of the writer's children is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity, according to the writer's account to Abigail Van Buren.
- The writer's daughter continues to support the accused mother through this tragedy, despite the writer's distress regarding the crime and her daughter's involvement in the case.
- Historically, the mother disparaged anyone seeking mental health support and was always critical of psychotherapy, suggesting deep-rooted skepticism about professional intervention and mental health treatment.
- Abigail Van Buren advised the writer that "women in their right minds do not kill their children," yet emphasized the daughter has every right to support her mother through the tragedy.
- The most effective way to support the daughter is to refrain from questioning her choice to be there for her mother, Van Buren counseled, as the family navigates this legal tragedy.
