[TexasTowelie]

A 48-year-old Westchester resident and former New York Police Department psychologist pleaded guilty Friday in the 2013 shooting of her husband.

At approximately 4 a.m. on Nov, 14, 2013 police and EMS were called after the victim, Kenneth Dearden, woke up with a pain on the left side of his head, the Westchester County District Attorney's Office said.

He was then taken to the hospital where they determined that he had been shot in the head and then transferred to a trauma center. He spent approximately eight days at Westchester Medical Center where he underwent surgery to remove a .22 caliber bullet from his jaw.

At the time the shot was fired, the couple’s children were sleeping only a few feet away, the Westchester County District Attorney's Office said.

1. Yikes! Sounds like she needs a good psychologist!

2. But she was the calm, cool, collected partner in their relationship.

Maybe an anger management course will help?

I've had my doubts about many of the psychologists and psychiatrists that I've met over the years. While they have analyzed me to make a diagnosis I've also done the same to them. As someone who has long admitted that he was crazy I find many of them to be daffy. Who is better to recognize a crazy person than another crazy person?

3. That's probably why they went into the field...

BTW, I was a psych major in college...

4. I left myself an out

when I said "many" instead of "all". I've stepped in so much bullshit here in Texas that I watch where I tread.

5. I think that's why a lot of people go into the field

They know what it's like to feel different or disconnected or have a tendency towards depression, so they have empathy for others with the same issues and hope to make a difference.
