Lindsey Clancy did not murder her kids. She LOVED them which it why she sought out help while going through postpartum so she wouldn’t do anything that the intrusive thoughts were telling her. She LOVED her children so when the blame was placed on her she took it bc the guilt of being a mom and even thinking horrible things eats you alive.
The medicine does not help. It leaves you in a fog and confused. Your brain can not heal the way it is supposed to. Having someone there who ACTUALLY can listen to you and take your concerns seriously is so important. Your community is so important.
As a mother we feel that we have to do every single thing we can to protect our children. This is why it is so important to surrender your children to God. There is a demonic attack on the children in the world right now.
The guilt and blame does not belong to you Lindsey. Just know that there is a community of people supporting and praying for you. God got you sis. We love you. The truth will ALWAYS come out. 💚
Dealing with postpartum intrusive thoughts can be an isolating and deeply painful experience. From my personal experience and conversations with other mothers, I’ve learned that the typical prescription medications often only mask symptoms instead of helping the brain truly heal. Many women feel like they’re trapped in a fog, unable to think clearly or process their feelings. This is why finding a listening ear—someone who truly takes your fears and concerns seriously—is incredibly important. It offers emotional relief that medication alone cannot provide. In addition, the power of community cannot be overstated. Surrounding yourself with people who understand and support you can make a tangible difference in how you cope with feelings of guilt, shame, and blame that mothers often face during postpartum struggles. I found solace not only in friends and family but also in faith-based groups, where surrendering your children to God helped ease my protective anxieties and gave me a sense of peace amidst spiritual battles that many feel are affecting children today. It’s essential to remember that loving your children means recognizing when you need help and actively seeking it. When intrusive thoughts occur, they do not define your love or your intentions. The guilt that mothers like Lindsey carry is often misplaced and exacerbated by societal judgment. I’ve found that opening up about these experiences breaks the stigma and helps others realize they’re not alone—and that truth and healing will ultimately prevail.
