“Jim, did your father really blow his brains out because of your mother?” “Yeah. He was on the telephone. He told her he had a gun. He said, ‘If you don’t come back to me I’m going to kill myself. Will you come back to me?’ And my mother said, ‘No.’ There was a shot and that was that.” “What did your mother do?” “She hung up.”
