This case is so very tragic. I don't believe the Mom will ever be "fine."
I agree. The Mother has had her whole life ripped from her. It is very sad. What must she have gone through before it culminated in this murder?

One theory already dismissed by investigators was illegal drug and alcohol abuse.
"There is no reason to suspect drugs and alcohol. From everyone we interviewed he used neither," Mask said.
Chief Mask wouldn't comment on whether Wolf was taking any prescribed medications, however he did acknowledge Wolf's fragile mental state.

medical examiner confirmed late Wednesday that a 9-year-old boy died from multiple stab wounds...
Dr. Wolf was not living with his wife and son at the time of the killing, The couple was having marital issues, sources said. Police said it is still too early in the investigation to reveal how Dr. Wolf ended up at his home on Elmhurst Avenue early Monday. The close family friend told Eyewitness News 5 that Mary Wolf was not afraid of her husband and that she does not believe he suffers from schizophrenia.
I'm starting to think maybe he is just another low-life man killing his child to get at his wife. I hope I'm wrong; it would be much easier on my heart if he proves to be mental!

not trying to be snarky - I'm really sincere asking this because I'd never thought of it before:
Why is it that so often "the devil" is involved in psychotic breaks & mental illness? Why the devil??
Why not marshmallows or pink elephants, IYKWIM??
Why does something terrible have to happen???
From this link, the Dr. was supposed to be in REHAB for drug and alcohol problems.
He's not crazy, just an addict.

may, ITA with you that this horrible episode originated from a mental illness. Without a doubt in my mind. Also, ITA that it is important for people to understand that.
I do, however, think it is just as important to bring to public's attention, the fact that mental illness in combination with meds/drugs/alcohol can carry severe side effects. These can alter the mind and in some minds the result can be an episode like this. I don't feel it's being used as a crutch as much as I feel it can be used as a testament to what the combination can result in.
Drugs that alter the mind, whether they be prescribed or used by way of self medicating, can carry dangerous side effects, especially when used in combination with each other and on top of a mental illness.

I am wondering if the Dr. had been prescribed Prozac by his Psychiatrist?

Whoa.. Whoa! That really isn't the type of site one should be using as "proof" of anything! That guy wouldn't know truth if it bit him in the face! He is a nut case.. not to mention a Scientologist! Of course he's talking crap about Prozac!
There are lots of other websites out there listing the side effects of Prozac. Check them out!
