Q: Herschel Walker was married for several years. Did they have any children? Is he still battling the personality disorder that was in the news several years ago?
— Jim Slaughter, Lilburn
A: Walker, the former University of Georgia and NFL running back, and his former wife Cindy had one son, Christian. Walker dedicated his book, "Breaking Free: My Life With Dissociative Identity Disorder," to Christian, writing: "To my son, Christian Walker, I love you. Thank you for helping me to mature as a man and a father." Walker said during interviews when the book was released in 2008 that he had been in treatment for eight years and felt the disorder was under control. "I've totally changed from back then to where I am today," he said on ABC's "Nightline." Walker now speaks to groups of soldiers who are having trouble adjusting after returning from combat tours.
