THE LINDSAY CLANCY CASE: "PATRICK KILLED THEM"

I looked at my husband a few nights ago and I asked , "what if that was us, ki lo ma se ? (what would you do?)" He didn't answer at first. He thought it was a silly questionAnd then I probed furtherWhat would you do if you were Patrick, and I was Lindsay? He said , "you know what?...." , dropping his phone and turning his body towards me. "You know I'm not a violent person abi" . I laughed and said "I know. Just answer ah"He said "Don't take this the wrong way o. You know I love you and I'd never harm you in anyway. But if my baby dies by your hands, I'd do to you what you'd done to her but even worse" I had no response for that. I didn't even know how to react "Have you seen that man's eyes? He looks soulless. Chai. Omoo" he continued "But if na me sha, babe you know I'm not violent oo...." He doubled down "but you'd experience every level of pain my child experienced. I'd rather go to jail after. And honestly, if it was the other way around you should do the same. I mean after raising her for three years! Imagine if I did that. I even trust you. Small beating wey I beat am you wan break my head" I laughedIt was true I was a disciplinarian myself but I was always alert 😂If my daughter cries behind my back whoever is with her has to explain by sequence what happened to make her cry 😂. And then I asked him "what about the people supporting her?" His answer made me laugh. He didn't even hesitate. Bobo just said "Kini! Oga make dem arrest everybody. Before they'll even start killing their children in support" I laughed. But then it hit meHe wasn't completely wrong There was , in fact, a woman who got arrested for killing her own child because of her support for Lindsay Clancy That night we talk about it. Laughed a little more about some other ridiculous hypothetical situations.... But after he slept I really thought about what he said. I opened my Tiktok and sure enough the first thing that popped up was the Lindsay Clancy case. I genuinely don't even know why I'm concerned.Nigeria's fuel price is increasing yet I'm more concerned about this woman's case Maybe because I'm a mother tooMaybe because to me it's deeper than postpartum psychosis and mental health issues Maybe because I understand but I also don't understand I searched up a photo of the husband on my browserPatrick Clancy My husband was rightHis eyes were soulless How could anyone blame this man for killing those children? How could he be at fault??? Has he even healed? What am I even sayingWould he ever heal? "Oh his new wife looks like the ex wife. Why would he marry someone who looks like his children's murderer" Ah!! Accusations flying left and right. That's a man who walked in on the bodies of his babiesDeadLifeless The same children he probably kissed goodbye and smiled at before stepping out the door And the one thing I don't understand..... "Patrick killed them!" How? It makes me question a lotEspecially humanityDoes that even exist anymore?Do people even have empathy at all? I still can't get over the woman who said we should see those children as Vases Vases?Vases???! In the end I do hope justice gets served Or else, maybe they should really just arrest everybody at this point Because everybody tin fra meehhn
