Readers react fiercely to Sheehan column

She's "nothing more than a hysterical, brainless woman," reader Michael Velikin wrote. The type who would be declared a witch or delirious in another era. Of course "now we know more about women's cycles and menopause, we're more sympathetic to their behavior."

And the name-calling escalated from there.

Sheehan is just angry at her dead son for being a grown-up who supported the war, Michael Modes said. Now she's just another celebrity intoxicated by her reflection in the TV mirror. He doubts that, if she could, Sheehan would trade her fame in to have her son back alive, Leonard Giaccone accused.

And several among the 200 or more e-mailers and callers commenting on Wednesday's column charged that Sheehan had no right to mourn her son so publicly since she was a "bad mother" whose ex-husband raised her son more than she did.

To Howard York of Sequim, being a non-custodial mom exposes Sheehan as "a fraud so far as the bleeding is concerned and (she) is using the loss only for political leverage."

I'm trying to make sense of your post.

This seems to be a contradiction:

Cindy and her current husband, Patrick are the parents of Casey and the other kids. Her current husband has filed for divorce but I don't believe custody is an issue since all of the kids are now of age.

What am I missing? Patrick is Casey's father and "her current husband?"

They are one and the same person. I used the terminology current husband as I'm not aware whether their divorce is final or not.

Maybe it would have made more sense to you if I had said "Cindy and her estranged husband, Patrick are the parents of Casey and the other kids. Her estranged husband has filed for divorce but I don't believe custody is an issue since all of the kids are now of age."
