And so I don't look at it like you did this to me.
I look at it as you did this to yourself.
Your conscience now has to deal with what you did to your boys.
Your wife told you, take care of my boys before she died.
And the courts took us away because you failed at taking care of your kids.
You have to live with that shame.
You have to live with that.
I let it go.

I said this at a conference once, Sun Valley Writers Conference.
And there's a famous writer there named Frank McCourt who wrote a book called Angela's Ashes.
