Kyron Horman, 7 years old PORTLAND, OR #11 7/27/10

I don't think that discussing Kaine's statements implies that we're blmaing him, either. Several of his statements have been contradictory. I don't chalk them up to him having a role in Kyron's disappearance; I chalk them up to his own lack of involvement in his own family and a whole lot of guilt/confusion.

Example (and I'll paraphrase here from the articles we've all read; if anyone likes I'll be happy to revise with links)): "Terri Horman was put on medication for the depression, and her doctor told Kaine to keep an eye on her to make sure she was OK, he said. But she wasn't OK."

Kaine this week: "She is out of the house, doing whatever it is she does. I have no way to track what she does. And up until now, I had no reason to track what she does."

BBM.

Kaine Horman's own words affirm that Terri had been diagnosed with postpartum depression. He had been given instructions regarding his role as a husband.

Kaine Horman: Kyron’s Stepmom Suffered Post-Partum Depression
11:05 PM July 8th, 2010

Kaine Horman, father of missing 7-year-old Kyron Horman, told WW in an interview tonight Kyron’s stepmom suffered from post-partum depression and may have been hiding it when the boy disappeared.

“She went through some pretty bad post-partum as a result of the pregnancy. She was on medication from the doctor,” said Kaine Horman, who gave a series of brief interviews this evening, mainly to national news outlets.

Horman was accompanied by Kyron’s biological mother, Desiree Young.

Kyron disappeared from Skyline K-8 School on June 4. His stepmom, Terri Moulton Horman, was the last person known to have seen him, investigators have said. The investigation increasingly has focused on her.

Kaine Horman filed for divorce and a restraining order on June 28 citing alleged plans by Terri Moulton Horman to have him killed. He told WW the illness came on after the birth of their daughter Kiara 19 months ago and lasted well over a year.

“As far as I’m concerned, probably up until a month or two before Kyron was gone — and then she could have been hiding it at that point,” Kaine Horman said.

He said the illness manifested in rapid mood swings.

“It wasn’t anything that was overly violent in nature,” Horman said. “It was just really erratic types of swings, from being very emotional to suddenly being very frustrated.”

Horman said he’s not sure what type of medication his wife was on or when she stopped taking it.

“I was just supposed to watch her closely for a six-month period, which I did do,” he said. “And after the six months, things seemed to be OK.

Right. I should have been more clear as to my implications. What I intended by contrasting those statements was to point out that because the doctor told Kaine to keep an eye on or 'watch' Terri, Kaine did so - in his own words, for six months. The other statement he made seems to suggest that he believed he had no reason to keep an eye on Terri. I'm just pointing out something that could be an inconsistency. Did he believe he should keep an eye on Terri after the six month mark or didn't he?

Kaine says that she went through some pretty bad post-partum depression that lasted well over a year.

Then he says doctor told him to watch her closely for 6 months, which he did, and after 6 months things seemed to be okay.

"pretty bad PPD that lasted well over a year" vs. "after 6 months things seemd okay" ??

Then he says it lasted until 1-2 months before Kyron went missing.
