Octomom, Nadya Suleman, goes into hospital for a month, overstressed



The bizarre behaviour of one mother who extravagantly overloaded herself with more children than she can manage by far, may be repulsive to many of us.  But keep in mind, no matter what, no matter the responsilblity she eschewed and the gambit she to which she devoted herself, she needs compassion from whomever she can call upon for assistance — if only a bit of public support  in letters to the editor and such things.  Let the rest of us, just keep our own mouths shut.  Give her some space, so that perhaps she'll take steps toward her own better mental health.  No one wants her to die; after all, there are 14 children who need a sense of their mother and her presence as much aa possible.

Octuplet mom enters rehab for anxiety, exhaustion

LOS ANGELES — Nadya Suleman, the California single mother of 14 children including octuplets, has entered rehab seeking treatment for anxiety, exhaustion and stress.
Suleman, 37, dubbed "Octomom" by the media, checked herself into a Southern California treatment center last week. She is expected to be in rehab for 28 days "or more if needed," her manager Gina Rodriguez said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Ms. Suleman has been taking Xanax that was prescribed by her doctor to deal with her anxiety but she felt she needed a treatment program to help with her recovery," Rodriguez said.
During Suleman's treatment, her children, aged between 3 and 11, will be cared for by a team of three nannies, two friends, a driver to transport the children to and from school and security in front of the house all day and night, Rodriguez said.
Suleman became a media sensation in 2009 after giving birth in Los Angeles to octuplets conceived through in vitro fertilization.
In April, she filed for bankruptcy after previously admitting she was on public assistance to support herself and her 14 children. She has since starred in a porn film to support her family.
