listened to your misunderstanding of the Epstein Friedman case
i would suggest you read the relevant documents including the many halachic analyses- especially Rav Feldman
your understanding is contrary to the common understanding including that expressed by Rav Kaminetsky himself

Rabbi Rakkefet-Rothkoff is mistaken in comparing Mr. Friedman to the insane husband described by
Iggerot Mosheh, Even ha-Ezer I, no. 80. In the case adjudicated by Iggerot Mosheh,
there was a confirmed psychiatric report - published by known
psychiatrists at an accredited hospital (already established in 1919;
see here: https://www.maryland.va. gov/about/PPhistory.pdf ) -
that the husband was insane even before the marriage, so insane in fact
that the husband was unable to find employment or live with his wife.
This report was investigated by the Baltimore Beth Din of the time, and
it merely asked R. Moshe Feinstein to confirm
its conclusion of mekach ta'ut, which R. Moshe Feinstein did. By
contradistinction, in the case of Mr. Friedman, (a) nobody knows who
has written the psychiatric report on Mr. Friedman, a report which is
incongruous with Mr. Friedman's continued employment
in Congress; (b) the husband was capable of living with his wife after
marriage (-the daughter born to Ms. Epstein was not conceived in a
mikveh), and even as of today would be delighted to return to shelom bayit
with her, and (c) the Baltimore Beth Din has clearly ruled on
multiple occasions that Mr. Friedman is the husband of Ms. Epstein.

Oh, he mentions you.
considering his disrespectful comments towards you, I think you are rather charitable to him!
