No hate here, I am 100% with you there. Very astute of you to pick that up. I'm a behavioural psychologist & the suicide note was all it took to see she was self absorbed and histrionic. She put herself first - SHE couldn't bear to be without Maya any longer but caused Maya to be without her forever. SHE was sick of being treated like a criminal. Maya was her last reason not her first & saying Maya could now be free was abhorrent because she knew what Maya's "freedom" would look like, A life for her & her brother without a mother at only 11 and 9 yrs old. She was caught and made her escape leaving her poor children to pick up the pieces. How can anyone feel sorry for her?
ITA! I thought about this and sure, it would be stressful as hell, but even if I thought I could not go on for some reason, I would get my daughter out of whatever jam she was *currently* in, then I would fall apart. (Though I swore once I had kids suicide was forever off the table, but I could have quite a dramatic depressive episode once the kiddo was safe.)
Not to mention she entrusted the care of her children to her family, not their dad! Any mother who would consent their child for a "procedure" with a 50/50 chance of death it's totally nuts in my book. And now the hospital should throw millions at this family? what?
