This story just seemed like the most bizzare thing I'd ever heard of.
Most posters seem to blame the mother in some way, but I don't think
that's right. This guy forced drugs on her & kept her in a zombie like state.
He probably didn't want to deal with her our his children so he could keep
his gambling room open. I feel bad for her & even worse for the poor kids.

It might take years to overcome their mental, emotional and health
problems ,if ever.

quote:

" Dove, 45, plied his wife, Tamara, with prescription painkillers, cocaine and crack, and forbade her to go outside, police said. Thompson said he did not expect the 37-year-old mother would be lucid enough to be interviewed for weeks".
