She's not a cat, dude. She landed where she landed. Luck, not love.

@ 1, that's true, but David has earned his poetic license.

When I worked at a psychiatric hospital, we'd get occasional postpartum depression patients.

The strangest was a postpartum psychosis patient though. She was totally mentally healthy, successful, happy, etc., until she had her kid, then she started hallucinating and hearing voices.

It only lasted a few weeks, but she was totally freaked out and so was her husband, who visited pretty much every day.

That was an interesting job.

do you see how hard is to kill someone if you don't have a gun?

There's always that point where you take on one more task than you're really capable of handling.

While she may have believed he had CP and the doctors said he did not, I wonder how much brain trauma and damage he sustained from the bounce. (Not to mention growing up knowing that his mother tried to kill him...)

@4 I think "logical" is perhaps not the best word here.

@2

No. She tried to kill her kid and failed. If she'd shot at the baby and missed, nobody would think that was some kind of act of love.

It's too bad. There's usually a lot of warning signs of postpartum depression. Thirteen page manifestos cum suicide notes and having antidepressants prescribed and whatnot. If only somebody had done a better job of getting her the help she needed.
