Well we don't know the full facts yet but people do the strangest things when subject to extreme and prolonged stress as she undoubtedly was. If this is true, she'll have been under the most enormous emotional pressure, being torn between the 24/7 needs of her son, her own needs and those of the other family members. Anyone who cares for a severely disabled person will understand the intolerable pressure which accompanies that responsibility and, as with all things, some cope with it far better than others.
