H had a fairly neglectful early childhood. Parents non demonstrative and hard to please. Nephew dies when H was about 14. Parents abandoned H (moved overseas and didn't invite H) when H was 17. Second wife left with their child and H was actually comitted for observation. 1996 vasectomy - something that seems to have scarred H. Began affairs. 1998 favorite sister dies - first bomb drop. 2001 successful business shut down. Limited financial success since then. 2006 my mother dies. 2011 - second bomb drop coinciding with H's parents failing health.
