Thomas Thatcher

Thank you.

Yes, and that's what my book's about, is stories.

But my story came in the family business where I was, what was it, the hairy book where I was a spare child or the second son.

And when I came into the business, my father had already pretty well understood

had set up my brother to run the business.

And so I thought that I was gonna come in and we were gonna run it together or there was gonna be a place for me.

And I was upstairs and he was downstairs in the office by my dad and I was not in meetings and he was in meetings.

So I said, wow, this is a really bad situation.

And the problem was not that pain part.

The problem was going from the pain part into the suffering part.

And that was all the stories that I made up to it.

And what I had come to the conclusion was is that my father didn't love me.

He didn't care.

And so then I was going under that burden.

And it became very difficult.

I got very depressed.

I didn't feel like I even wanted to live anymore.

And I even became suicidal.

And I got with a friend who told me a story about the TACC.

And he says, I want to give you an example of three people.
