I really wanted to comment on your FB question: "Do you know of any woman who falsely accused a guy of 'date rape' or some kind of sexual assault? What happened to the guy?" but this is too close to home and I did not want my name used. 

My son was accused of rape by a girl when he was in school...

In reading your books I have learned I was not a very good wife to my first husband and I was hell bent on wanting him to be all about me. I married the second time to a man who was strong, courageous, and take charge. Little did I know I would have to resign as the alpha of the household.

...I am currently deployed in 5th Fleet, and my mother gave me your podcasts to listen to in my stateroom (SOMETIMES I DO have "free time"!).

Yesterday I was at the park with my 3 year old. Two 8 year old girls came to play shortly after we arrived. There was no one else at the park, so they took an interest in my son.
