Nothing seemed to be working as far

as my relationships in the family.

Nothing seemed to be working as far

as my relationships with anybody.

My marriage didn't survive.

Mostly my fault, but also

because someone couldn't understand why something

that happened 30 years ago was still bothering me.

I'm married again.

My second wife, my new wife knew what she was getting

into when we got married.

She doesn't claim to understand what I went through.

All she does is say, "That's fine.

I don't need to understand.

I just need to realize that you look at things differently

and accept that fact."

And as long as I'm getting the help that I need, that's OK.

And as a result, we've done fine and we'll continue to do fine.
