From time to time I take a look at OWN, the Oprah Winfey Network, just to see what she?s up to. There is some reasonable programming ? especially on Sundays. A lot of it is violent ? mainly at night and I quickly change the channel. But lately, Dateline OWN ? A Bitter Pill, captured my interest. It?s the bizarre story of an emergency room physician and his lovely wife Rosie Essa. In 2005 Essa was dashing out to the movies to meet her sister Deanna at a matinee. Within minutes, her car lost control and veered off into a side street. When police arrived, Rosie Essa was dead. No one knew it then, but Rosie?s simple trip to the movies that day from her nice home in suburban Cleveland, would set in motion an international manhunt, something that became an excruciating five-year ordeal that would expose mistresses, secret bedrooms and new identities and would involve the FBI, the Middle East and murder.

And all the intrigue and the lifetime of sorrow for so many, began on the streets of a perfectly pleasant, moms, dads, kids and dogs kind of neighborhood, Gates Mills, Ohio. Rosie and her handsome doctor husband, Yazeed, or Yaz as he was known, lived here. She was a nurse. They met while working at the same hospital. At 36, he was proud that he, a man of humble Middle Eastern roots, was able to provide his family with so much: the big house, the backyard pool, money for whatever they needed. But his was a man who was leading a double life and would ultimately be responsible for his wife?s death by cyanide poisoning.

How could a charming, skilled, professional man ? a physician with two children do such a thing? Easy ? it?s done every day by people who have no morals, no scruples, no regrets and no remorse. Sociopaths – whose only MO is to cause harm to those closest to them. This is what happened to me. I thought I was married to a kind, loving, registered nurse ? a man of great integrity who spent his days saving lives. Wrong. My Book Direct Hit! will tell you the whole story of my now ex-husband?s criminal activities on the internet. Good health – body, mind and spirit, depends on integrity and truth. When the body is out of alignment with the truth, there is emotional disorder and disease. In the meantime, you?ll be interested in the Dateline OWN story which might set your mind to thinking ?do I really know who I am with??
