A heartbreaking tale of self-flagellation. What does it prove? Who does it help?
[ A long pause, and then he speaks again. ]
Back after my brother exploded, I blamed myself for what happened. Peter vanished, you know. I had no idea whether he was alive or dead. I spent four months in the hospital barely alive, and then some kind of miracle, and I wake up good as new.
Got drunk. Blew my career, my marriage, lost my kids, destroyed my relationship with my mother. You want a fuck up? Well that was me.
Now you--I don't know what it's gonna take, how you're gonna do it, but you have to pull yourself out from that same sorta place, and the first thing you gotta do is accept help from the people who love you. Start there.
