I lost my father. I stopped talking to my mother. I lost my brother.
Am I the problem? No. I’m the cycle breaker.

I’m roaming the world alone — not a tourist, a free man. A beast of a man.

Thinking of showing my therapist this photograph of my grandmother from about 1922 or so just as proof that my family is haunted.

I was befriended on FB by an uncle I didn't know existed, then I saw photos of my father and half-sister, both of whom I hadn't seen in almost 50 years. I wasn't super friendly to him, I was very angry, and he unfriended me. I was initially mad about this, but now I realize it's for the best. I'm happier they have faded back into nothingness.
