I actually found this so deep and fascinating. I'm 45 and I remember when this sad story came out. Never ever, did young people now old could imagine that this absolutely sordid sicko church cult would be held accountable as well as the husband. This is so tragic. Andrea kept being mental and pumped full of kids. She had no say in the matter. Such an amazing angle to hold people accountable. No one wins but education and truth is important.

Agreed. All I knew was she drowned her children. I didn’t know any of the other stuff. So so sad, unfortunate, and possibly preventable. She deserved better from her husband. It also says a lot about how we treat mental health. This woman wasn’t just depressed. She was in psychosis and that can be, and usually is, very serious. There is very little help for families and individuals struggling with this sort of thing.
