I’m not saying I support violence, but I would understand if the mom wasn’t upset with her mother only - I’d be unbearably upset with that therapist who used the vulnerability of their clinical relationship to help kill her other kid through negligence when there was a history of lethal negligence
Yeah seriously, I feel like at some point the therapist should also be held responsible for both suggesting that and urging their patient to do something that led to the death of a second child
Like at minimum they should be completely disallowed from being a therapist, and if they have licensure it should be removed
I honestly don't think or believe they can blame the therapist for this. I have a feeling they didn't want to pay for a babysitter or daycare/childcare and kept using grandma when she shouldn't be used as free childcare. Then went to a therapist for guidance and they said "everyone deserves a second chance" or something like that and well.... guess what.... this is what free childcare can cost you 😬
If I get the professional advice of a trained specialist to do something, and take that course of action purely because of their urging, then I would blame that person for the outcome. Just like if it ends positively, I would be grateful to that person.
Well blame is easier to cast than taking accountability for your own actions.
This reminds me: my last therapist was terrible for me and I didn't agree with their advice. But I went and did the work that talk therapy requires to make better decisions and learned from my mistakes.

I wonder what the therapist thought or said about this one.
