Then Cindy divorced her spouse in 2002 after almost two decades of marriage. The divorce's main reason was reportedly her husband's illness with a rare disease called Dissociative Identity Disorder. The disorder has two or more than two personalities or identities that take control of the behavior. The alternates have different characteristics and names contrary to the primary identity. It usually has its roots from childhood trauma. One of the symptoms of the disorder is periods of memory loss.
In one of her interviews, Cindy said that her husband tried to kill her, her friends, and his therapist in a therapy session. She stated that there were many other incidents Herschel doesn't recall. One of the events was that Herschel was having evil thoughts of hurting Cindy while she was pregnant. In his book, Breaking Free, Herschel revealed the struggles with DID and how he survived with more than a dozen multiple personalities that almost drove him to take his own life. According to his therapist, Jerry Mungadze, Herschel did not remember many things that Cindy had remembered because those wore the things that were done by the alters, unlike him.
Where Is Cindy Now?

Their son is a successful cheerleader. Instead of following in his father's footsteps, he decided to pursue his cheerleading career in the year 2014. In an interview, he said that he never felt that he would disappoint his father if he did not follow in his footsteps because he (Herschel) always encouraged him to do what he needs to do.
