He still calls the murderer of his three children his wife
Is he just a really nice guy because he can forgive her?
Cliffs
"police received a 911 call just after 6 p.m. ET from a man who said his wife had attempted suicide by jumping out of a window at their house.
First responders subsequently found three young children, a 5-year-old girl, a 3-year-old boy and a 7-month-old boy, inside the home "unconscious with obvious signs of severe trauma,"
Patrick Clancy has said previously that he forgives his wife, a sentiment he echoed again after the marathon, telling WCVB, "I said I forgive my wife and I do. I'll just leave it at that."

The long story of what happened
She took a child to the pediatrician's office and built a snowman with her kids in their backyard, they said.
Later that afternoon, according to prosecutors, Clancy, who appeared in court Tuesday via Zoom from her hospital bed, searched on Apple Maps the time it would take to drive to and from a restaurant in an adjacent town. She then called the restaurant to place a pick-up order before asking her husband, Patrick, to drive to get the meal, prosecutors said.
The restaurant, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, was farther from the family's Duxbury home than where they normally ordered take-out from, said Jennifer Sprague, the Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney, who added that Clancy sounded mentally intact when placing the order.
"The hostess who took the call said there was nothing out of the ordinary about this call. Her voice was not slurred or impaired in any way," Sprague said Tuesday.
Shortly after her husband left, Clancy texted him to ask him to buy medication at CVS on the way to the restaurant. While there, he called Clancy to clarify which medicine to get – a phone call Patrick Clancy told prosecutors was "completely normal," though he noted that his wife "seemed like she was in the middle of something."
Patrick Clancy described to prosecutors returning home to his wife on the ground in the backyard, with cuts on her wrist and neck. The window of their second-floor bedroom was open. She was conscious, prosecutors said.
When Patrick asked where the kids were, Lindsay replied, "In the basement," according to Sprague.
There, Patrick found his three children with exercise bands still wrapped around each of their necks.
On Monday, Sprague said, Lindsay Clancy called her husband from her hospital bed and told him she killed their children "because she heard a voice and had 'a moment of psychosis,'" though Patrick told prosecutors his wife had never mentioned hearing voices.

It hasn't hit him yet. 20 years from now he’s going to lose it.
I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was over.

If it keeps him from blowing his head off or drinking himself to death I can't judge.
I'd never want to walk in his shoes to find out what I'd do because I honestly don't know. That kind of **** is unfathomable.
Poor guy.The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

Never understood that whole forgiveness nonsense.
I still hold a grudge because of simple stuff that happened like 40 years ago.
It doesnt eat you up inside like they say it does. It makes you stronger."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

Same.
The one who benefits the most from forgiveness is the person doing the forgiving. Even knowing that I sometimes struggle with forgiving the dumbest stuff.
Within my family (let say parents, wife, kids) there isn't anyone I'd say I love more than anyone else. Still, every relationship is different and the most important one with respect to my long-term happiness is the one with my wife. You get about 20 years living with a child then they move on and build their own life. I'm still close with my parents and see and talk to the weekly. I hope to have the same relationship with my kids in 20 years. However, 20 years from now my kids will have moved on and started their own families and my wife and I will still be crushing life together.SAAVM CREW

I remember this story as it was all over our local news when it happened. This woman was not in her right mind at all. She should've never had any more children after the first one because she was a mess. She was on numerous different medications from different doctors and the husband knew she wasn't right.
Such an awful thing to happen.Last edited by kimm4; 04-18-2024 at 12:38 PM.
