In a related post for today’s entry on politicians and mental illness, Kathleen Troia “KT” McFarland’s past history of being physically abused as a child surfaced during her campaign.
The media got a hold of letters that McFarland wrote in 1992 to her parents at the advice of a counselor. This caused McFarland to disclose her history with physical abuse. McFarland’s father was allegedly the abuser.
