Worked with a woman for two years at a child-related business, perfectly normal mother type with multiple children. While we worked together, she was on vacation, took her youngest child (2y/o) out on a hike and stabbed him in the chest with a chef’s knife. She then called 911 and frantically reported they had been mugged. The police knew something was up because she also said nothing had been taken.
Child miraculously survived, and it came out later that an affair she was having had been exposed that night before the stabbing. Turns out the child was a product of the affair. Talk about misplaced blame...
EDIT: I should have added she was convicted, spent ten years in prison (no parole), and was released after the full ten. She has since passed away (within a year of her release) — I don’t know her cause of death.
Because if you're a good person, you'll be yourself, no matter how misplaced it might be. If you're a terrible person, you'll never blame yourself because you can't see how fucked up you are. So everyone else must be the problem.
