This thirteen page suicide note tells of a mother that thought she was an "evil" mother only because she had droped her baby twice and she thought that she had permanently injured her baby. The doctors disagreed. She was taking her medications for her postpartum depression. After she was done with her letter, she jumped from her 8th floor condo with her 10 month baby in her hands and the mother died but the baby only got a bruise on his cheek. Keston's mother, Cynthia Wachenheim, thought that they were both going to die but her body was a cushion for him and he suvived. He is not an orphan because he still has his father.

This is sad that the mother felt this way. I am glad that the baby survived. At least he still has his father, but he has to live with the knowledge of what his mother almost did to him. I feel sorry for their family.
Sad story. It is very luck that the baby didn't die, and at least he isn't an orphan.
What is wrong with people i understand that she would be upset for dropping her kid but not killing myself
I don't know why somebody would think they are a bad parent other than they are fighting depression
That is terrible. somebody like that does not deserve to be a mother i dont think.
That's terrible. That's some twisted logic, she was evil for dropping her baby twice but it was okay to jump out of an 8th story window with her baby. That's a really messed up story. Hopefully the dad isn't that nutters.
Thats really sad. The mom must of been really sick, and it was probably more than depression and im sure her depression was extremely severe. i cant believe that she jumped 7 floors with her own child in her arms, thank goodness that the baby is okay. I am thankful that his father is still alive and able to take care of him.
This is crazy! First, that the woman disagreed with the doctor about the well being of her baby, and second that the baby survived an eight story fall with barely a scratch! Unbelievable.
this is terrible! i don't know why she would've put all of that time into a 13 page suicide note if she was just going to kill herself anyways.
This is so crazy! Her depression probably had something to do with her doing such crazy things. I'm glad that the baby was okay and still has it's father. It's too bad that people do stuff like that.
