PATRICK CLANCY

Is Patrick Clancy for real?

I mean somehow, he has risen to the level of God or the papacy.

Or perhaps, he’s the male equivalent to Mother Teresa.

The husband of the woman accused of killing their three children–5-year-old daughter Cora, 3-year-old son Dawson and 8-month-old son Callan–wants her to be forgiven.

He forgives her.

In a statement released a couple of days ago, Clancy said this:

“I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay, as I have.

The real Lindsay was generously loving and caring towards everyone–me, our kids, family, friends, and her patients.

The very fibers of her soul are loving.

All I wish for her now is that she can somehow find peace.”

He added that the couple’s marriage “was wonderful and diametrically grew stronger as her condition rapidly worsened.

I took as much pride in being her husband as I did in being a father and felt persistently lucky to have her in my life.

We mutually understood the reality that people can have bad days, but we stuck to the rule that when one of us got lost, the other was always there to bring them home, always.

She loved being a nurse, but nothing matched her intense love for our kids and dedication to being a mother.

It was all she ever wanted.

Her passion taught me how to be a better father.”

IS HE SERIOUS???

He is.

And then some.

Clancy said his children “gave me purpose and I never took it for granted.

There is now a massive void where that purpose once was.”

“My family was the best thing that ever happened to me,” he continued.

“I took so much pride in being Lindsay’s husband and a dad to Cora, Dawson, and Callan.

I always reminded myself that each day with them was a new gift.”

Lindsay Musgrove Clancy, a labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, was on leave.

She suffered from severe postpartum psychosis.

She was mentally ill and trying to get help, attending a very intensive five-day-a-week program addressing PPD.

In an effort to end her life, she jumped out a window falling 20 feet to the ground.

She survived.

Or did she?

Will she?
