Love Gibsons writing here. Definitely how it feels to be living in a time of the ultra wealthy.

As she walked from the Louvre, she seemed to sense some articulated structure shifting to accommodate her course through the city. The waiter would be merely a part of the thing, one limb, a delicate probe or palp. The whole would be larger, much larger. How could she have imagined that it would be possible to live, to move, in the unnatural field of Virek's wealth without suffering distortion? Virek had taken her up, in all her misery, and had rotated her through the monstrous, invisible stresses of his money, and she had been changed. Of course, she thought, of course: It moves around me constantly, watchful and invisible, the vast and subtle mechanism of Herr Virek's surveillance.

When I first heard the case I had sympathy for LC because ive had bad experiences in our medical system but I stepped out of that, looked at the facts and watched the trial. ive seen what ive needed to see at this point to come out of the fog.

The social media psychiatrists have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Of course they are supporting psychosis when the public opinion in the social is swaying that way. These are people trying for likes. They have next to zero risk.

Who does have risk though? Women. Post partum women who report depression and anxiety.

Is the outcome people are seeking is women who report PPD/PPA to a medical provider require a custodian (husband, or parent) to confirm the status of their reported symptoms? Are we expected to remove the agency and independence from women for 12 months after giving birth just in case? Because that seems to be what the defense is implying.

It is shocking to me that so many women are in support of her innocence. Do the even understand that this could have real world consequences for women seeking mental health care? Especially the civil suit. Are we going to institutionalize PP women simply for a report of suicidal ideation? And I mean ANY report. A partner in a custodial situation just had to say "she's suicidal" and that would be enough? Medical providers will be more inclined to protect themselves than trust their patients. Women won't be encouraged to be honest.

This will further erode women's access to medical care and their rights, for what? A woman who is clearly responsible and shiuld be held accountable. I wish people would take the rose colored glasses off and look objectively at the facts without emotion and without influence from social media.
