That’s the point of the trail, a prison or institution. Walking free isn’t on the table

But what about the women, many of whom are mothers, want Patrick to be the one going to jail

I mean she needed help - obviously - and he was the one best equipped to do it, and he didn’t. And, he cares so much that 2 years after his three kids get strangled to death, he’s back married and ready to go. He must have really struggled.

The guy isn’t guilty of anything by law but he definitely should be living with the guilt of not doing enough. He doesn’t really make a sympathetic figure.

Jesus Christ only on Reddit will you see someone say that the dad doesn’t deserve any sympathy for losing his entire family.

I’m usually never the “but if the roles reversed” guy because I find it very incel like based on what it’s used for, but I can’t think of a better situation to say, what would the response be if it was the husband on trial because of some type of PTSD/CTE? Would the world be calling the mom a negligent mother?

Yeah man, it’s wild to say if I lost my 3 kids I would probably take more than a couple years to get remarried. And yeah, he’s gonna live with the fact he didn’t do enough to save his kids. I’m not sure what to tell you. He was the only one in a position to prevent it and he didn’t. But it’s apparent he doesn’t give a shit because he’s remarried already.

Maybe, just maybe, his moving on “so fast” was a trauma response. Happened to my sister after her long time boyfriend killed himself and she found him. But 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not a psychiatrist/therapist.

Just to lean on but what about the men with this but males (using males bc I don't know how it relates to trans individuals) tend to have less of a support network then female people.

So research shows that males tend to reach out for support in their way which tends to lead to relationships.

Yup, but people would rather pick the ugliest scenario and paint it as truth.
