He immediately made a suicide attempt and was hospitalized for more than one month in the VA Hospital in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. She returned to him once more, but he was extremely difficult to live with, and she was forced to leave again. To the 17 month old, there are big people and little people.

When Heidnik's 17 month brain took command, he reversed all this. No woman ever was going to leave him again. When the infant portion of the brain is sufficiently activated and decides that mommy is never going to leave him again, the adult portion of the brain becomes subservient to the new command center, and it drives the car to buy the chains. And while the adult brain knows how to do things the infant brain cannot, it is no longer in charge. It is only semi-present, as in a dream state.
