(Dave Irish/CBC) The psychologist who treated Lionel Desmond for complex post-traumatic stress disorder at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown says she never saw any sign that the Afghanistan veteran would harm himself or his family. Dr. Wendy Rogers testified that an abusive husband who is "prone to violence" would typically speak about his spouse in derogatory terms. But in her patient's case, whether due to his depression or the fact that he and his wife were living in different provinces, he seemed "distant" from his wife, at times almost showing "indifference."
