Here's an example of a mormon mommy cracking under stress. It's also an example of questionable "therapy" provided to LDS mothers and families. An LDS mother in Utah killed her four-year-old child with water intoxication. She forced the child to drink a gallon of water.

"The 35-year-old Springville woman tearfully told parole board chairman Curt Garner that she now understands the triggers that led her to physically abuse and ultimately cause the death of Cassandra Killpack in 2002 ...
"Meanwhile, their 8-year-old daughter has put her LDS Church baptism on hold until after the parole board decides her mother’s fate.
"At their 2005 trial, the Killpacks claimed the forced water treatment was therapy designed to get the girl, who purportedly suffered from reactive attachment disorder, to bond with her adoptive mother.
"To facilitate the bonding, Jennete Killpack was supposed to provide the girl with all her food and drink. When the girl drank liquids not given by her mother, a therapist had recommended forcing the girl to drink an excess amount.
"On June 9, 2002, the day Cassandra died, she had sneaked a sip of her baby sister’s juice....
The excessive water intake caused the girl’s sodium levels to plummet, which caused her brain to swell to fatal proportions....After Tuesday’s hearing, Richard Killpack told The Tribune that “hundreds” of people in his community have been “fasting and praying” for his wife’s release from prison."
