Yvette Cade, the woman from the DC area who was doused with gasoline and set on fire by her husband is on.

It brings tears to my eyes. The day this first broke headlines on the news and right now.

I'll try to catch it tonight at 9. I heard the commercial this morning and made a note to check it out.

That was horrible! She is originally from Akron, Ohio. I went to highschool with her, She was such a beautiful girl:( I did not see the whole show. How many years in prison did they give to the animal that did this to her?

Did anyone see Oprah today? She had an update on a young boy who was molested by his mother's boyfriend when he was little. The boy, who is an adult now, came onto Oprah today to tell her that his mother has decided to marry his molester!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

I simply could not believe that!!:o

I saw that episode. If they said how much prison time he got, I missed it. Her pics prior to the incident were so pretty. She was so positive about everything too, that got me. I just kept thinking the entire show "men are crazy". You go to somebody's job, with some gasoline in a Sprite can, pour it on them and set them on fire?! That is absolutely nuts. It has never been that serious for me.

Actually Ms. SKEE, I think people are crazy! I saw the previews for the show, and something very similar happened to a woman in Miami when I was there on vacation. I will probably get jumped for this, but without desensitizing the young lady's situation, women have been known to do the craziest things to a man (out of "love"). I hope any person (man or woman) would get the book thrown at them for act of violence like that. I just don't want this to be a "man-bashing" thing.

Men-people are crazy. Is that better? :p

I did see this show. His mother is outragous!!!! I felt sorry for him because he wants to go to his sister's graduation and can't because that man will be there. Just like Oprah said, he doesn't have a mother anymore, at least not in the true sense of what a mother should be. His family members, if they care about him, will not allow his molester to be at family gatherings.
If someone did that to my kids......let's just say I would make the front page of the paper!!!!

I just found out that they only gave him about ten years. *smh*

^^ That is shameful. Hope he doesn't have any plans to "finish the job"... I just remembered the footage of the judge dropping the order of restraint...this poor woman has been dealt a bad hand all around. At least that judge is only on administrative duty now.

This show on marriage was made just for me. I wish I would've told all my single friends to watch it. They wouldn't listen anyway, we all have that fairytale "that's not going to happen to me" view of marriage before we get married anyway.

lovehaiku84 05-10-2006 03:59 PM

Although I am not married, nor engaged or even really thinking about being married I sat down and watched this show. I do do hope to get married someday, but it really got me thinking about what it is that I expect out of marriage, and whether or not I'm just dreaming about the fairy tale the way so many other young women do. At some points in the show I felt like they should have just called the episode "Reasons why a woman should never get married...EVER!" because while watching I basically heard them saying that your life will be less full after marriage, and if you are married and think that it is not, you should take a closer look at your marriage so that you can see that you are only a shell of what you used to be. Even though on several occasions they said that they weren't bashing marriage, that is what I got out of it. By the end of the show though, I was only left with more questions, one major one being Is it even possible for a woman to prepare for married life and all that it will bring? Even with all 275 questions, etc.? I have no idea, but I'm glad that I have plenty of time to think about it.
