As Lindsay Clancy waits for the jury to decide her fate<\/a>, her now-ex-husband Patrick Clancy is trying to rebuild a life shattered by the deaths of their three children.<\/p>\n

In a 2024 interview with The New Yorker<\/a>, Patrick opened up about his grief, the few keepsakes he treasures and why he believes mental illness changed the woman he married.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t married to a monster,\u201d Patrick told the magazine. “I was married to someone who got sick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lindsay is facing three counts of first-degree murder in the January 2023 deaths of 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan.<\/p>\n

She has admitted to strangling the children inside the family\u2019s Duxbury, Mass., home but has pleaded not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While prosecutors argue that Lindsay intentionally killed the children and knew right from wrong, her defense maintains that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.<\/p>\n

How is Patrick Clancy Rebuilding His Life?<\/p>\n

In May 2023\u2014four months after his children were killed\u2014Patrick left Massachusetts and moved into an apartment in New York City, according to public records obtained by the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When The New Yorker<\/a> visited Patrick\u2019s Manhattan apartment in 2024, it contained several belongings connected to his children.<\/p>\n

Among them were a toy helicopter Dawson received for his final Christmas and pillows fashioned from pieces of the children\u2019s clothing. Patrick also kept a pink, rainbow-patterned blanket on his couch.<\/p>\n

He told the magazine that he sometimes still found himself saying, \u201cI have three kids,\u201d before adding, \u201cThey are deceased.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick also took an extended leave from his job at Microsoft after the killings, according to The New Yorker.<\/p>\n

As he tried to move forward, he joined a sailing club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

and began training for the Boston Marathon. In April 2024, Patrick completed the race in memory of Cora, Dawson and Callan while raising money for Boston Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n

Patrick filed for divorce from Lindsay in February 2024, and in 2026 married Dr. Rachel Danis<\/a>, an NYC-based fertility doctor, according to People<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How Did Patrick Clancy Forgive Lindsay Clancy?<\/p>\n

Four days after the killings, Patrick posted a statement on the family\u2019s GoFundMe page asking the public to forgive Lindsay.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real Lindsay was generously loving and caring,\u201d Patrick wrote. \u201cAll I wish for her now is that she can somehow find peace.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patrick told The New Yorker<\/a> that his decision to defend Lindsay publicly was partly a response to what he viewed as inaccurate narratives surrounding the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the prosecutor and the public had gotten it right from the beginning,\u201d he said, “I probably wouldn\u2019t have even written that GoFundMe note.”<\/p>\n

Patrick testified at Lindsay\u2019s murder trial on July 27 and July 29, 2026.<\/p>\n

During his testimony<\/a>, he detailed how Lindsay\u2019s mental health progressively deteriorated after the births of their second and third children, saying she had “intrusive thoughts\u201d about harming their kids<\/a> two months before the Jan. 2023 killings, according to CNN.<\/p>\n

What Does Patrick Clancy Say About Lindsay\u2019s Mental Health?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patrick told The New Yorker<\/a> that Lindsay\u2019s mental health worsened in the months after Callan\u2019s birth, explaining she struggled with insomnia, lost her appetite and withdrew socially.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As her symptoms worsened, Lindsay sought treatment at several hospitals and mental health facilities. Still, Patrick said no medical provider ever warned him that she could be experiencing postpartum psychosis and acknowledged he\u2019d \u201cnever even heard the term until after the kids died.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick also explained that he did not speak to Lindsay immediately after the killings. When they eventually connected by phone, he said Lindsay told him that she had heard a voice commanding her to kill the children and then herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Patrick recalled, \u201cShe did not sound like my wife.”<\/p>\n

That conversation reinforced Patrick\u2019s belief that mental illness had overtaken the woman he knew.<\/p>\n

Where Does the Lindsay Clancy Case Stand Now?<\/p>\n

The jury deciding Lindsay\u2019s fate told Judge William Sullivan on Sept. 1<\/a> that it was unable to reach a unanimous verdict after approximately 18 hours of deliberations. Sullivan instructed jurors to continue weighing the case.<\/p>\n
