So here is the question: When a struggling mother says, “Sometimes my own thoughts scare me,” do we make it safer for her to speak? Or do we teach the next mother to stay silent? That difference matters.

Every text examined. Every prescription discussed. Every frightening thought repeated.
And mothers everywhere will listen.”

“That is the harvest, Wormwood.
Not millions wanting to imitate one terrible act.
Millions wondering whether frightening thoughts make them dangerous to those they love.
Then teach them not to tell anyone.
Isolation.”

“One ruined household gives us grief.
But one ruined household placed beneath lights, argued over in court, and studied by millions?
That gives us reach.”

“You think the children were the objective, Wormwood.
They were not.
The spectacle was.”

@CoffinMedia A great example of “winners write the history”. Great take @CoffinMedia.

It is also another example of why options like @X are so important as a record keeper before the historical realities are lost to rewrites from political and ultimately demonic forces.
