But I had a problem with my family.

And I'm thinking about it.

I think about it a lot.

My dad died in 2015.

I think that he was a man of strong will, not strong faith, but strong will.

And he thought that if you just do the right thing, follow the code, all good things would happen.

Only good things would happen.

He expected me to fail by leaving the family, by moving away.

My sister did everything right and died early of lung cancer, though she never smoked a day in her life.

So I think my dad...

without even knowing what was happening, he and my mom, they all struggle with that.

Why is he alive?

He did everything wrong.

Not that they wished me dead, but I think that was part of it.

And it led to me getting chronically ill for four years from chronic mononucleosis, stress induced, and it led to the collapse of my marriage.

And it was horrible.

That's right.

Yeah, a personal disaster.

My older son went with me to Hungary to flee the collapse of divorce.

And without being too personal, I wouldn't have chosen to leave America.
