Lindsay Clancy is being held in a facility in the town next to me.
She’s next door to me. And the truth is, most of us have had a Lindsay Clancy next door, perhaps without even knowing. Maybe you were that woman next door.
Most aren’t women who did the unimaginable. They were women screaming for help postpartum - a silent scream behind a closed door and curated exterior.
The battle right now is about who is to blame:
Lindsay?
Her husband?
The doctors?
The whole medical system?
The medications?
The truth is, it’s a full system failure because it’s not a system that actually tends to core postpartum needs. It’s designed to perhaps help some, but fail far too many others.
