Her Husband Was Her Father

(Doylestown, Ohio) A 60-year-old local woman, Valerie Spruill, has understandably experienced persistent emotional and psychological turmoil since discovering that her husband was her father.

Spruill met and married her husband-father in Akron and settled in Doylestown, a working class suburb of about 2,300.

It was her second marriage. Spruill was a nice man, a good provider. He was kind to her three children from her previous marriage.

"We had a good life," she said.

She initially struggled with anger, with hating Spruill for what happened.

But therapy taught her what happened wasn't her fault. Her faith taught her to forgive.
