I hate Susan Smith so much, even though I'm not even related to her, is this a normal reaction?

The case really shocked when I heard it the first time long ago but recently, I've come to really hating that woman so much. I was very happy she got denied parole but it sucks that she'll still apply for it 2 years later or so.

I'm not a violent person (actually hate violence) but omg if that woman was ever free and just a couple feet away from me, I imagine either charging after her or telling others to get that woman out of my sight now.

I'm nearly 4 months pregnant for the first time (at age 37), have a 10 year-old godson and two male cousins once removed (sons of two cousins); both are slightly over 2 years old. It's such a joy seeing him running around and the smiles they do. Maybe those are the major reasons I hate that woman so much.

Now the case nearly bring me to tears and fury upon hearing that woman even have nerve to be upset she got denied parole. I'm not related to her at all, just another random person on earth. Is my hatred towards her normal?

Note: if anyone doesn't know who she is. She's the mother that strapped her 3 and 1 year-old babies on the car and pushed the car on the lake, watching them drowning, crying and screaming for their mom. She framed a black man of kidnapping her children, faking cries but no tears.

Feeling revolted in front of horror is a normal sensation, obviously. Now, sensitivities, why this case among a gazillion of other horrors, it looks random until you receive a possible explanation, it's so personal.

I'll never understand becoming pregnant, carrying a little human for 9 months, undergoing childbirth twice, the recovery time... all that only to then drown your 2 kids you gave birth to. Death by drowning is either the 3rd or 4th worse agonizing death. I can't even imagine what those poor babies felt as the car was sinking in the lake and their bodies got touched by that cold water, slowly until it covered their heads.
While there are other horrors too, this one is emotionally dramatic. Meanwhile I've been wanting a baby for years and finally I'm getting my wish for the first time at the age of 37 and will be 38 when I give birth. I'm dying to know the human within me, to hold him/her.

You are definitely over reacting.

I condemn that person but don't hate.

I think it's emotions taking over upon hearing the additional details of how those two babies were found holding each others' hands, how they were crying and screaming for their mom and the overwhelming terrible death. Dying by drowning is like the 3rd worst death and done a baby and toddler, wow.

I almost cried with those added details.
