Erin Patterson definitely has mental health issues. It's quite obvious she is a pathological liar. But whatever happens in her trial and the verdict, I am more concerned for her kids' future mental health.
Take for instance the "death wall" in her house. These drawings by the kids are not normal.

The former home of the woman who prepared the lunch in a suspected fatal mushroom poisoning featured a “death wall” with disturbing children’s drawings.
The former home of the woman who prepared the lunch in a suspected fatal mushroom poisoning that killed three people featured a creepy “death wall” with disturbing children’s drawings of tombstones and an ominous warning that
“you don’t [have] long to live”.
A photo obtained exclusively by news.com.au from inside the Korumburra home previously owned by Erin Patterson shows a large section of one wall covered in red, blue and black graffiti.
“You don’t long to live 1 hour exactly,”
one section reads.
“Your dead from my sword,” another says.
Underneath two stick figures of a male and female are the words “
I am dead” and “no I am really dead”, above what appear to be three tombstones.
One of the tombstones appears to say “
grandma R.I.P.” while the third reads “
ME R.I.P.”
The man, who asked not to use his name, got a phone call from a real estate agent last year asking him to paint the wall so the property could be sold.
“I’ve looked at it and gone, holy sh*t, what the hell’s going on here?” he told news.com.au.
“I went, this is actually really scary for kids to do this inside the kitchen-dining room. I didn’t think it was right, it looked scary. It just didn’t look right to me as a parent.”
The 46-year-old said he was struck by the multiple references to death, and particularly the tombstones.
“That sort of stood right out. It was eerie. I think I put four coats of primer undercoat and two coats of wall paint to cover all that texta.”
The tradie said he snapped the picture and apart from showing a few mates, didn’t think of it again until the fatal mushroom poisonings hit the headlines.
“Now of course this mushroom thing’s come out,” he said.
“They keep to themselves,” he said.
The tradie told news.com.au he was aware homicide detectives wanted to speak to him about the photo, the existence of which had been previously reported.
It's fortunate the tradie took photos of the drawings before he cleaned and painted the wall.
