I thought so highly of him that I chose him to do surgery on me. It was common knowledge he was going through a very difficult divorce at that time. While anything is possible, I entrusted my health to him and found him to be not only a great surgeon, but seemingly a fine human being. I myself have gone through a "War Of The Roses" - type divorce that also lasted for many years. One never knows to what lengths some will go to when it comes to protecting our children, as well as fighting for time to spend with them. I sympathize with any family experiencing heart-breaking times, such as what this family has apparently gone through for so many years. Divorces can drag on and on and bring out the worst in people. Our court system seems to exacerbate this. No one really knows what happens behind closed doors. I can only pray for the children and hope this battle can soon come to an end.

We have to teach our kids to protect themselves in even the most unexpected circumstances. I encourage all parents to outfit their kids with personal safety alarms. They look like key fobs but they emit a peircing cry that can draw attention to a scard child in need of help. Maybe if these girls had such equipment, they'd be found. All the best and praying for them... D.M. Fehrenbacher These kinds of stories chill me to my bones. We have to teach our kids to protect themselves in even the most unexpected circumstances.

My daughter had told me that her father was molesting her and photographing the acts. I saw the photographs. This is a very sick man, that gets tons of breaks, and the benefit of the doubt from everyone because he is a doctor. What would you do if someone was molesting your daughter?

Not only do we need to be aware but we also need to take better care of ourselves as mom's. I have a mom book club and we are reading this outstanding book, "The Book of Mom", by Taylor Wilshire. It is a novel about a mom that is overwhelmed ,feels undervaled and how she takes better care of herself, her kids and her marriage. It is a summer read, perfect with summer around the corner, light and funny. Even though I think the book is good, I am not always open to the ideas of spirituality that the author proposes, but I can say I can't put it down. Have you read it? What is your thoughts about it?

She not only broke the law, but now faces indefinite jail time for attempted murder.

When you first mentioned it, it sounded to me like good old fashioned loss of temper. Evidently there is a disorder called Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and they have evidently made a connection to domestic violence. So thank you for mentioning it and I will be reading up on it. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/intermittent-explosive-disorder/DS00730 http://psychologytoday.com/conditions/explosive.html Gene, I am not a psychiatrist and had never heard of the disorder.

I thought you might be interested in this case where the abuser blames a condition called Intermittent Explosive disorder for his "attacks." What are your thoughts?
