Stop making excuses for her. Many of us grew up in abusive households and/or have suffered emotional and mental breakdowns.

She murdered her 4 year old child. And not manslaughter or crime of passion or whatever murder - but cold blooded beat him to death then hide the body murder.

Recognizing the significantly different context in that she was a 14 year old child who was raped, who had experienced other abuse before and while pregnant (she probably had no real choice or access to alternatives), which led to a breakdown, etc is not "making excuses for her".
