I do not understand a human mind that believes that is a solution to ANY problem.... and I hope I never do.

BALTIMORE (AP) — A man charged with drowning his three children in a Baltimore hotel room over the weekend has a history of psychiatric problems and threatened to kill them more than a year ago, his former wife said in court documents....

Police say he confessed to drowning the children — Anthony, 6; Austin, 4; and Athena, 2 — one by one Saturday in the bathtub of his room at a Marriott hotel. He was being held without bail....

Amy Castillo requested a protective order in Montgomery County District Court on Dec. 25, 2006, and asked that her husband receive psychiatric counseling.  In her petition, she said her husband had been found two months earlier to have mood disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. And she said he had threatened to kill himself that summer.  "He has never actually hurt (the children), but did tell me that the worst thing he could do to me would be to kill the children and not me so I could live without them," she wrote in the petition....

According to charging documents, Mark Castillo told police he drowned the children about 6 p.m. Saturday, then stabbed himself in the neck several times with a steak knife.  He also took about 100 Motrin pain reliever pills in an attempt to commit suicide but woke up Sunday at 1 p.m. He then called the hotel front desk to say he had killed his children.

My wife HATES news stories like this.  She stumbled upon this article when reading up on CNN this evening.  She's been weepy all night.

Me too.  I typically won't go past a headline when I see it.

And now I'm the one who can't sleep.
