Patrick Clancy, the ex-husband of Lindsay Clancy, says he forgives her after her alleged role in the deaths of their three children. In comments reported by outlets, he says that without forgiveness he would have been “eaten up inside forever.”

The statements are framed as a personal perspective on forgiveness rather than a legal argument. BBC Health describes the remarks in the context of his account of forgiving his ex-wife, while the New York Post reports that Clancy says Lindsay never asked for forgiveness but that he chose to “give it” anyway. The two sources focus on his explanation of why he forgives, while other details about the case are not expanded in the provided excerpts.
