Stephen had spent more than 30 years building up his walls.
When his father dies, those walls start to crumble.
The night of April 15th, 1986 begins like many of Stephen's evenings.
He picks up a man he's been dating in his new Corvette.
They drive into the city, eat dinner, go dancing at a bar.
Late that evening, they return to the man's apartment.
You can fill in the blanks from here.
About an hour and a half later, Stephen gets in his car and drives home.
He's feeling good.
He's had a few drinks, and he's behind the wheel of a flashy sports car.
Things couldn't be better.
Well, they're about to get a lot worse.
He's doing 60 an hour in a 35 zone when he passes a police car.
Instead of slowing down, Steven hits the gas.
He loses control.
His car flips multiple times, throwing him in a ditch.
His pelvis is shattered.
Doctors expect him to die.
Somehow, he survives.
His marriage doesn't.
