A Texas mom accused of stabbing her own children was suffering from postpartum depression, according to her husband, who was also attacked.

Holly Leeann Flores, 37, was charged on several counts of attempted murder after going on a stabbing spree in her home in Northlake, about 30 miles from Fort Worth.

Flores’ husband, Justin Hommel, 34, was reportedly stabbed in the head and called 911 during the attack. Their 3-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son were also injured.

Hommel was reportedly heard asking his wife if this was a “postpartum thing” while on the phone with 911, according to WFAA.

Texas mom stabs her 3-year-old girl, her 10-month-old boy, and her husband with a knife.

Police say they arrived at the home in Northlake, Texas, to find the children with stab wounds to the chest.

The husband of Holly Leeann Flores, 37, was also reportedly stabbed in the head.

The husband says he was trying to save the kids and get them into another room as his wife tried to stab him.

Flores was hit with two charges of attempted capital murder, and one charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The children and husband are expected to survive. Flores was also treated for a laceration to her chest. It’s unclear if she attempted to take her life like Lindsay Clancy.

It’s also unclear if TikTok females plan on raising money for Flores as they did with child murderer Lindsay Clancy.

In an interview with police, Hommel said his wife had been struggling with postpartum depression and had been acting strangely, prompting him to sleep on the couch, WFAA reported.

Hommel woke around 1 a.m. before the attack to find his wife in his children’s bedroom lighting a candle and spotted a kitchen knife on the dresser that “freaked him out,” but he allegedly went back to sleep after she locked him out of the room, according to the affidavit.

Later, he awoke to the sounds of his children crying and began knocking on the door; when Flores opened the door, she allegedly attacked him with the knife.

Hommel was able to wrestle the knife away but was stabbed in the head, and the children also suffered multiple stab wounds to their chests.

Police had previously responded to five other calls from their home since March over “welfare concerns and overdoses,” WFAA reported.

Thankfully, all three victims survived. Flores was arrested and faces 2 counts of attempted capital murder and one count of aggravated assault.

🚨 TEXAS MOM ACCUSED OF STABBING HER TWO CHILDREN AND HUSBAND COULD FACE LIFE IN PRISON

Holly Leeann Flores, 37, faces three serious felony charges following the alleged stabbing of her 3-year-old daughter, 10-month-old son, and husband inside their Northlake, Texas, home.

• Count 1: Attempted capital murder of her 3-year-old daughter — 5 to 99 years or life.

• Count 2: Attempted capital murder of her 10-month-old son — 5 to 99 years or life.

• Count 3: Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon involving her husband — potentially 2 to 20 years, or more if charged at the first-degree felony level.

All three victims survived.

Despite the attempted capital murder charges, Flores is not facing the death penalty. Under Texas law, attempted capital murder is generally punishable as a first-degree felony, carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Her husband reportedly told investigators she had been struggling with postpartum depression and had made suicidal statements before the alleged attack.

Even though all three victims survived, Flores could still spend the rest of her life behind bars if convicted. 👇🏻
