No, no, I knew Dr. McFadden, she was my friend and vet the four years I lived in Merced, many years ago. She was a wonderful friend, a devoted mother, and kind and empathic vet....my God. She certainly didnt drive this guy nuts...no..no..Pray for her, all of you. God, her suffering is unimaginable.

if that's true,
my humble retraction is offered in this instance.

She may be wonderful with animals, kind to children, a good friend to other females. But did you ever see her interact with her husband? Do you know why she has (apparently) had at least 3 husbands? Look, I know the woman is hurting in horrible ways we can't even imagine. I'm not saying that's right. I just want the point to be made that she very well may have provoked some of this. Did she see her ex as a worthwhile person, with the right to a life of his own? I just want all the facts. There have been too many cases of men who, with nowhere else to go, take their children's lives in the belief that that is the only way to protect them (and being the protector is how men are "wired"), then end their own lives, because they see no future for themselves. They have been so completely devalued by the women, and the courts have validated her claims, that death seems to be the only solution.

These tragedies are not going to stop until our government either gets the heck out of our personal lives, or the women of this country begin to value their men again.
