The Lindsay Clancy trial has Americans deeply divided, and now it appears to be impacting relationships.
Clancy has garnered plenty of support across social media, largely from women, after killing her three children and attempting suicide. Her defense argues that she was experiencing psychosis at the time the crime occurred, and therefore she should be found not guilty by reason of insanity. Online, discussion about the case has reached a fever pitch as people point out that she was cycled through several psychological medications too fast. Others argue that they believe her husband moved on too fast after his children were killed, and believe that means he had something to do with it.
There is yet a third faction of people who claim that it doesn’t matter why Clancy committed the crime; she should serve her time for ending the lives of three children.
The debate hasn’t stayed on the internet, though, and people are now revealing how the trial is impacting their personal relationships.
One screenshot is going viral for purportedly showing a man breaking up with his partner because of her support for Clancy. He says that such a person is not a good fit to be the potential mother of his children.

“So you’re really breaking up with me over a f**king opinion?” the unidentified partner is seen asking.
“I’m not breaking up with you over an opinion. I’m breaking up with you because that opinion showed me a fundamental difference in our values. I can have compassion for someone struggling mentally without excusing what happened to those children,” the man replied. “If I’m choosing someone to potentially be the mother of my kids, I need to trust their judgment completely, especially when it comes to protecting them. What you said created a doubt in me that I can’t ignore or gamble my future children on.”
Another woman revealed in a video that her husband was sleeping in a separate room after he began following the case, and the two came to different conclusions.
Watch:
WOW! Woman who went all-in supporting Lindsay Clancy now admits that she and her husband sleep in separate rooms after she pressured him to follow the trial. He came away with the complete opposite view of the case.

“So at first my husband didn’t understand why I was so invested in this trial. And then I started to not understand why he wasn’t invested in this trial. So then, being the good man he is, he got invested in this trial. But then, he tried to start making me see things from a different perspective? And now he’s sleeping upstairs in our bunk room,” the woman said.

If a father was doped up on psych meds due to hospital malpractice and killed his kids, not a single woman would donate a penny to the man. Men do not need to explain themselves in situations like this.
