This kind of reminds me of post partum depression. Even though men are just as likely to rage kill their child, it was me who wondered every time I felt desperate if I was the next Andrea Yates (whose husband unbelievably bore no responsibility for her children's deaths). Every post partum visit and its question "are you thinking about hurting the baby?" had me wondering when the killer deep inside me would appear. My husband, however, has never once been asked this question even though, statistically, he's at least an equal threat if not greater.
