Janette MacAusland's life appeared like a postcard to some people, while to others, it was more like a beautiful family.
They lived in a grand $1.5 million residence in one of the richest suburbs in the US and had a very successful career.
But behind closed doors, her world was crumbling. Her marriage was failing, and her partner was fighting her for this house and for the kids.
Now, the mother who appeared to have it all sorted is accused of taking her two young kids' lives and leaving even those close to her reeling about how much horror could hide in plain sight.
Family friends claim that the news was just too shocking to be true. They had no idea that her mental health was so bad that it would lead her to do something as drastic as this.
Others claim that everything happening behind closed doors is a reminder that you have no idea what others are going through in life.
