Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Dwight Gooden, the former New York Mets and Yankees star, has abandoned his family and turned into a deadbeat dad, says his wife, Monique, according to a New York Post report.Monique Gooden told the paper she has not seen Gooden since June 22. She said the former ace, who has been plagued by substance abuse problems for decades, left the her and their children -- 5-year-old old son Dylan and 4-month-old daughter Milan -- surviving on public assistance and food stamps.
"He's left us with no money," Monique Gooden told the Post. "When I got here to Maryland, I had to go apply for social services, food stamps and health insurance for the kids. He has offered no financial assistance to us."
Monique Gooden says the 1984 National League Rookie of the Year had been holed up in a hotel somewhere in New Jersey back in May.
The couple wed in January 2009, but Monique claims they haven't lived together since May 1, according to the report.
"You know what, right now I'm so stressed, I've been so stressed that every day has been a struggle for me," she told the paper. "I just want support for the kids at this time . . . I just want to take care of them."
Monique told The Post her husband's latest downward spiral began March 23 when he crashed into another car while allegedly driving under the influence of drugs with his son in the car.
The Mets are scheduled to honor the 45-year-old four-time All-Star -- who retired in 2001 -- as one of four inductees into the team's Hall of Fame next weekend.
