Divorce is never a pleasant experience, especially when children are involved.

When Mike Farrar and Deborah Green separated, the divorce process was not entirely smooth.

Deborah did not want her husband to leave her, and Mike was no longer able to feel safe

in his own home.

He recognized the dangers to himself due to his wife's erratic behavior,

but he was able to rest assured that she was a good mother, who would never hurt her children.

When her alcohol consumption began putting that thought into doubt, he told her he was going

to seek custody of the kids. What he thought he was doing to ensure their safety would put them

in immediate danger. This is Monsters. Deborah Jones was born on February 28, 1951 in Havana, Illinois, the younger of two daughters.

Deborah was said to have been intellectually gifted and learned to read much younger than was common.

She took both piano and violin lessons as a child and continued playing piano into her college years.

The family moved to Peoria when Deborah was in high school and the young woman finished out school with high grades.

The principal of the school would later remember as having followed all the rules and she didn't do drugs or drink.

She was a cheerleader, served on the student council,

and was a national merit scholar. Once graduated, she enrolled at the University of Illinois

with the goal of becoming a chemical engineer. She was told at the time there was an abundance

of engineers and that she should pick a backup major just in case.

She chose pre-med chemistry and completed the work in only three years.

While attending the University of Illinois, she met an engineering student named Dwayne Green,

and the two dated through the remainder of the time Deborah was at school there.

After she completed her undergraduate studies, she was accepted to both the University of Illinois

and the University of Kansas medical schools, and she chose Kansas.
